Shouldn't this check be used only after the 'SELECT' command ?
It looks |||mxs_i2c_isr()| for DMA transfer does not differentiate
commands also
and does not mask irqs for each command.

|STAT_GOT_A_NAK|  is a separate bit.|CTRL1_NO_SLAVE_ACK_IRQ can be set

both after SELECT and WRITE command. Should we differentiate?
What about writes that take long time, will checking this bit not break them ?
(like programming a slow eeprom or such)

No, master clock speed (SCL) decides here.
If slave does not confirm I2C address  (SELECT) using ACK
any timeout doesn't help. RUN bit is not deasserted.
The same thing is for WRITE cmd. Each byte has to be acked
otherwise STAT_GOT_A_NAK is set.
If it is too fast a slave has possibility to inform by setting SCL low.
However I haven't seen any driver which supports the method.


|Checking CTRL1_NO_SLAVE_ACK_IRQ |bit for SELECT command will increase

code size only
without special profit. Current PIO implementation also gathers all errors
together and reads them on the end by mxs_i2c_pio_check_error_state().
Probably mxs_i2c_pio_check_error_state() call or
enabling interrupt masks for PIO could be better than
direct |CTRL1_NO_SLAVE_ACK_IRQ |bit checking for clear code.
It also could support multimaster for PIO (MASTER_LOSS).
Actually, the PIO is explicitly IRQ-less and is used only for transferring very
short amounts of data.
Yes but error service could be more common probably.
