Wow these scripts! So useful - thanks for the hint. I looked up the
few people I added manually in the drivers.

Ok I added it partly. I didn't include the Armadillo specific part,
but added the general
idea to move existing protection schemes to the core.

Ok done.

Oh yes, well seen. I swapped it.

I looked up Documentation/i2c/fault-codes and -EIO currently is the
closest blurrily defined fault code to our problem. I agree that
-ESHUTDOWN would look clearer, but as well agree that I'm unsure about
getting too pedantic. I left -EIO for the v2 series for now. If we opt
for -ESHUTDOWN we shouldn't forget to update the docs too.

I will post v2 now but be on the road for probably a month and can't
participate further here. If needed feel free to completely modify
these patches - it's a very basic patchset anyway.

Cheers,

 Bastian
