Firstly, that would be a device driver bug, and I can't see how silently working around it here helps. If a driver is broken, it should be fixed. So I would expect a log message. Secondly, I believe i2c_master_send() and i2c_master_recv() should be able to trust the return value of i2c_transfer(), which in turn should be able to trust the return value of __i2c_transfer(). If you really want to check the value returned by i2c_algo->master_xfer() for validity, this should be done in __i2c_transfer(). But then again, I find it hard to justify the run-time overhead for working drivers, so maybe it should only be done if CONFIG_I2C_DEBUG_BUS is enabled. -- Jean Delvare SUSE L3 Support -- Jean Delvare SUSE L3 Support -- 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
