FWIW, the problem that was initially reported has nothing to do with this. i2c-algo-bit used mdelay() during transactions, not yield(). yield() is used only in once place, _between_ transactions attempts. There are no strict timing constraints there. -- Jean Delvare -- 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
