It's safe to assume I2C will always have external pullup. It is even more safe to say that I2C will always have an external pullup on the SDM845-MTP. Remember that the pullup config is in the board device tree file, not the SoC one. So even if someone out there decides that the internal pull is somehow good enough for their own board and they don't stuff external ones, then it will be up to them to turn the pull up on in their own board file. > We > will change sleep-config of I2C GPIOs to no-pull. Even better IMHO: don't specify the bias in the sleep config. I don't believe it's possible for the sleep config to take effect without the default config since the default config applies at probe time. ...so you'll always get the default config applied at probe time and you don't need to touch the bias at sleep time. >>>>> + i2c10: i2c@a88000 { >>>> >>>> Seems like it might be nice to add all the i2c busses into the main >>>> sdm845.dtsi file.

Yeah, it's fine to just change the subject of this patch. It would be nice to add all the other controllers in sooner rather than later, but it doesn't have to be today. -Doug -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-arm-msm" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
