All standard s3c-24x0 i2c controllers require gpio lines for proper operation, so lack of the gpios property should be considered as an error. However there is a special case of internal, embedded i2c controller which has no such gpio lines at all. > > - samsung,i2c-slave-addr: Slave address in multi-master enviroment.

It is not strictly related to Exynos4 SoCs. Exynos4 SoC has 8 standard s3c2440 style i2c controllers and one additional, internal controller for HDMIPHY, which needs some workarounds in the driver. Maybe the quirk should be named 'broken timeout detection' (snipped) Best regards -- Marek Szyprowski Samsung Poland R&D Center -- 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
