Hi Joel / Jian, Sorry ~ I didn't observe the last mail from Jian. My last patch was used to avoid the situation like below link. https://lists.ozlabs.org/pipermail/openbmc/2023-August/033756.html Because I have applied controller reset in my patch. Therefore, I think you just need to reset the slave state by "bus->slave_state = ASPEED_I2C_SLAVE_INACTIVE" in your case.
