Cadence I2C controller has the following bugs: - completion indication is not given to the driver at the end of a read/receive transfer with HOLD bit set. - Invalid read transaction are generated on the bus when HW timeout condition occurs with HOLD bit set. As a result of the above, if a set of messages to be transferred with repeated start includes any transfer following a read transfer, completion is never indicated and timeout occurs. Hence a check is implemented to return -EOPNOTSUPP for such sequences.

Just check for unsupported conditions in the driver and return error. --- drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-cadence.c | 11 +++++++++++ 1 file changed, 11 insertions(+) diff --git a/drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-cadence.c b/drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-cadence.c index 67077c2..f5437e2 100644 --- a/drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-cadence.c +++ b/drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-cadence.c @@ -522,6 +522,17 @@ static int cdns_i2c_master_xfer(struct i2c_adapter *adap, struct i2c_msg *msgs, * processed with a repeated start. */ if (num > 1) { + /* + * This controller does not give completion interrupt after a + * master receive transfer if HOLD bit is set (repeated start), + * resulting in SW timeout.
