I have no objection to trying this change again, but later, and only if you have actual numbers to back it up. > + > + if (timeout > MAX_RETRIES) > + dev_dbg(&priv->pci_dev->dev, "INTR Timeout!\n"); > + > + outb_p(status, SMBHSTSTS(priv)); Wouldn't it be more correct to only write the INTR bit? Writing back the whole 8 bits frightens me a little especially because of bit INUSE_STS. If we ever want to support this feature, I think we have to first ban writing back the whole status to register HST_STS. And this is the only place where we still do AFAICS. (This isn't a regression from your patch, the old code was already doing that, but it might be the opportunity to fix it.) -- 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
