Subject: RE: [Bug fix] octeon-i2c driver updates
Hi Jan,
There are two points in this patch.
Point 1. As you see, replaced octeon_i2c_init_lowlevel() by recover bus status if TWSI controller is not IDLE.
Please take a scenario like this: when system soft reset without I2C slave reset, maybe make this I2C bus
dead lock occurred (I2C slave device stuck low SCL) in chance. Then during system goes up and I2C slave
device creating process, if this I2C slave device has a register with less than 8 bytes to read, but I2C bus was
still stuck low SCL by last system reset, then the read will failed and this I2C slave device cannot be created.
If bus recovered before the reading process, this failure can be fixed.
Function flow explanation shown as below:
a. System reset without I2C slave device reset
--make SCL stuck low by I2C slave device
......
b. octeon_i2c_probe（）
-- octeon_i2c_init_lowlevel //reset TWSI core, but SCL still stuck low by.
......
c. Another I2C slave device creating process
octeon_i2c_xfer()
-- octeon_i2c_hlc_comp_read() //failed due to SCL stuck low.
If full recovery executed in octeon_i2c_probe（), above failure can be avoided.
Point 2. octeon_i2c_recovery() is used in octeon_i2c_start() error branch, in the case of octeon_i2c_recovery()
successful, octeon_i2c_start() will return -EAGAIN, and then octeon_i2c_xfer() return with error. I understand this like
this: if octeon_i2c_recovery() successful, then i2c START signal can be sent again, and all following step can be continue,
octeon_i2c_xfer() should not return error from this condition.
BR,
Sean Zhang

Dear Maintainer,
For octeon TWSI controller, I found below two cases, maybe can be improved.
Hi Sean,
form the description below this looks like you're fixing a bug. Can you
elaborate on when the I2C bus dead lock occurs. Is it always happening?
What I don't like about the patch is that you're removing
octeon_i2c_init_lowlevel() from the probe and replacing it by _always_
going through a full recovery. Why is this neccessary?
Regards,
Jan

Subject: [PATCH] Driver updates:
- In the case of I2C bus dead lock occurred during driver probing,
it is better try to recovery it. so added bus recovery step in
octeon_i2c_probe();
- The purpose of function octeon_i2c_start() is to send START, so after
bus recovery, also need try to send START again.
