Hi all, Updated problem descriptions from Mika's feedback and new test data: There have been "i2c_designware 80860F41:00: controller timed out" errors on a number of Baytrail platforms. The issue is caused by incorrect value in Interrupt Mask Register (DW_IC_INTR_MASK) when i2c core is being enabled. This causes call to __i2c_dw_enable() to immediately start the transfer which leads to timeout. There are 3 failure modes observed: 1. Failure in S0 to S3 resume path The default value after reset for DW_IC_INTR_MASK is 0x8ff. When we start the first transaction after resuming from system sleep, TX_EMPTY interrupt is already unmasked because of the hardware default. 2. Failure in normal operational path This failure happens rarely and is hard to reproduce. Debug trace showed that DW_IC_INTR_MASK had value of 0x254 when failure occurred, which meant TX_EMPTY was unmasked. 2. Failure in S3 to S0 suspend path This failure also happens rarely and is hard to reproduce. Adding debug trace that read DW_IC_INTR_MASK made this failure not reproducible. But from ISR call trace we could conclude TX_EMPTY was unmasked when problem occurred. The patch masks all interrupts before the controller is enabled to resolve the faulty DW_IC_INTR_MASK conditions.
