Since I2C buses are generally very slow the controllers are interrupt driven and the read and write operations on them will sleep waiting for operations to complete. If the code waited for the I/O to complete in an interrupt context it would cause serious performance problems in the rest of the system. You should do the actual I/O from another context, such as a workqueue. schedule_delayed_work() may be helpful here. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-i2c" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
