Hi, No, after the NACK, no more commands are being processed, including a repeated start. omap_i2c_xfer() returns -EREMOTEIO without ever freeing the bus. The bus is left in an impossible state with SCL constantly low and all next commands (to different chips) will therefore get a -ETIMEDOUT With this patch, the bus will become idle again and new commands can be processed normally Hein -- 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
