Starting with the 8-Series/C220 PCH (Lynx Point), the SMBus controller includes a SPD EEPROM protection mechanism. Once the SPD Write Disable bit is set, only reads are allowed to slave addresses 0x50-0x57. However the legacy implementation of I2C Block Read since the ICH5 looks like a write, and is therefore blocked by the SPD protection mechanism. This causes the eeprom and at24 drivers to fail. So assume that I2C Block Read is implemented as an actual read on these chipsets. I tested it on my Q87 chipset and it seems to work just fine.

It works, but obviously I'd prefer to have confirmation from Intel hardware people that this is the right thing to do before it goes upstream. drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-i801.c | 22 ++++++++++++++++------ 1 file changed, 16 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) --- linux-4.5.orig/drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-i801.c 2016-05-23 10:39:56.423505663 +0200 +++ linux-4.5/drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-i801.c 2016-05-23 11:25:09.862853791 +0200 @@ -137,9 +137,10 @@ #define SMBPCICTL_INTDIS 0x0400 /* Host configuration bits for SMBHSTCFG */ -#define SMBHSTCFG_HST_EN 1 -#define SMBHSTCFG_SMB_SMI_EN 2 -#define SMBHSTCFG_I2C_EN 4 +#define SMBHSTCFG_HST_EN 0x01 +#define SMBHSTCFG_SMB_SMI_EN 0x02 +#define SMBHSTCFG_I2C_EN 0x04 +#define SMBHSTCFG_SPD_WD 0x10 /* TCO configuration bits for TCOCTL */ #define TCOCTL_EN 0x0100 @@ -775,9 +776,16 @@ static s32 i801_access(struct i2c_adapte block = 1; break; case I2C_SMBUS_I2C_BLOCK_DATA: - /* NB: page 240 of ICH5 datasheet shows that the R/#W - * bit should be cleared here, even when reading */ - outb_p((addr & 0x7f) << 1, SMBHSTADD(priv)); + /* + * NB: page 240 of ICH5 datasheet shows that the R/#W + * bit should be cleared here, even when reading. + * However if SPD Write Disable is set (Lynx Point and later), + * the read will fail if we don't set the R/#W bit. + */ + outb_p(((addr & 0x7f) << 1) | + ((priv->original_hstcfg & SMBHSTCFG_SPD_WD) ? + (read_write & 0x01) : 0), + SMBHSTADD(priv)); if (read_write == I2C_SMBUS_READ) { /* NB: page 240 of ICH5 datasheet also shows * that DATA1 is the cmd field when reading */ @@ -1456,6 +1464,8 @@ static int i801_probe(struct pci_dev *de /* Disable SMBus interrupt feature if SMBus using SMI# */ priv->features &= ~FEATURE_IRQ; } + if (temp & SMBHSTCFG_SPD_WD) + dev_info(&dev->dev, "SPD Write Disable is set\n"); /* Clear special mode bits */ if (priv->features & (FEATURE_SMBUS_PEC | FEATURE_BLOCK_BUFFER)) -- Jean Delvare SUSE L3 Support -- 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
