The XIIC driver never worked for me. The mainline version before your patches would enter BNB interrupt immediately. The linux-xlnx version dereferenced a null pointer, because the IRS modified i2c->tx_msg/i2c->rx_msg while the initial messages were copied to the TX FIFO. I think both behaviors might have been due to the TX FIFO running empty while not all messages were copied, because xiic was pre-empted. Or maybe something was wrong with the I²C SDA/SCL lines. Either way, code did not account for any errors, any preemption, so I'm unsure how the xiic driver works for anybody else.
