Hi Sorry I missed this discussion. I believe the following code in i2c_dw_eval_lock_support() should make it so that it doesn't matter how IOSF_MBI is built: if (!iosf_mbi_available()) return -EPROBE_DEFER; I added this to address i2c_designware probing before iosf_mbi. It worked but I do not recall if IOSF_MBI=m was the problem scenario. If so you can just change it to: depends in I2C_DESIGNWARE_PLATFORM && IOSF_MBI Give me a few days to confirm on my Baytrail device.
