The generic handling where the i2c core layer handles everything to do with recovery, including the switch between modes? i2c-pxa _intentionally_ carefully handles the switch between i2c mode and GPIO mode, and I don't see a generic driver doing that to avoid causing any additional glitches on the bus. Given the use case that this recovery is targetted at, avoiding glitches is very important to keep. > > Russell, do you object naming the pinctrl state for bus recovery in > > the pxa i2c driver from "recovery" to "gpio"? > > No response, so far. I suggest now to support the "recovery" naming but > mark it as deprecated. Opinions? I don't have a preference on the exact naming. -- RMK's Patch system: https://www.armlinux.org.uk/developer/patches/ FTTP is here! 40Mbps down 10Mbps up. Decent connectivity at last!
