And regarding your question - Might be it would be reasonable to add call of i2c_davinci_wait_bus_not_busy() at the end of i2c_davinci_xfer()? This way we will wait for Bus Free before performing recovery. Of course, i2c_davinci_wait_bus_not_busy() has to be fixed first as proposed by Alexander Sverdlin here: https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/448994/. -- regards, -grygorii -- 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
