RE: [PATCH] Input: wdt87xx_i2c - Add a prodcut_id attribute in sysfs

Hi, Dmitry,

Thanks for your question!

Since the controller will change the working freq when the system encounter the power noises, 
like display patterns or on/off, the environment radiation, and charger noises, etc.
The i2c bus will have data error(rarely) randomly cause by the freq change in the old version fw.
We found this issue and fix it in the latest version just one month ago.
The fw guy worry about this issue will have the chance to make the update failed in old version and 
would like to increase the retry number to secure the update process. 
But, yes, you are right, 3 or 10 for the probability are just taking different level risk.
I will roll back it to 3.

Beside the retry number, I will modify the sleep time to 2500ms in sw_reset. 
The origin value is 200ms, it includes the loading fw & boot up to the main function.
The main function will do algorithm initialize and touch calibration about 1.1 second.
The touch calibration will scan the best working freq and it also has high risk when doing fw update.
It is our mistake for not take the touch calibration into the consideration.

And again, thanks for your help!

BR,
Hn.chen

I need to understand better why we need to increase number of retries.
Why would writing firmware/config page fail? We already retry 3 times (which I am not too happy about) and now we need to try 10 times? It seems we are trying to paper over a bigger problem.

The vendor and product id of the device usually go into input dveice:

	input->id.vendor
	input->id.product

the custom attributes should be created for data that is not covered by the standard attributes (like you have with config_csum or fw_version).

Thanks.
