This resetting of QUP is present in the base code itself. Since this QUP is being used by all the QCOM chips that's why we have not changed the existing QUP reset logic. We will look into reset polling logic separately and will post the patch for the same. We got the input for QUP RESET by referring our working internal drivers and we also faced the BAM hang issue in base upstream driver, if we don't do this RESET. If we schedule any transfer with DMA mode then the DMA Engine (BAM) will never get any interrupt for these errors, since the QUP interrupt handles the error cases. The BAM will generate the interrupt only when it will receive the requested amount of data. This reset will clear the QUP FIFO and we will get the BAM transfer completion interrupt by the existing logic present in the base bam transfer function. -- Abhishek Sahu -- 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
