I cannot really speak for any of the other models, but no objections for removing I2C_M_NOSTART from my side. I'm actually rather confused by it since it is used on the first partial message. The documentation [1] says: If you set the I2C_M_NOSTART variable for the first partial message, we do not generate Addr, but we do generate the startbit S. ** This will probably confuse all other clients on your bus, so don't try this. ** Yet, someone felt like trying this here. ;) I have tested the following two patches from Andy on MMS345L: - Input: mms114 - use smbus functions whenever possible [2] - Input: mms114 - get read of custm i2c read/write functions [3] Indeed, with I2C_M_NOSTART removed I can actually use "melfas,mms152" and the touchscreen appears to work without further changes. (The only weird thing is that it displays an empty "Compat group" in "TSP FW Rev: bootloader 0x6 / core 0x26 / config 0x26, Compat group: ", I suspect that register does not exist on MMS345L...) But there is a limitation that won't let us take these two patches as-is: i2c_smbus_read_i2c_block_data() is limited to I2C_SMBUS_BLOCK_MAX, which is: 32 /* As specified in SMBus standard */ According to "Input: mms114 - use smbus functions whenever possible": > The exchange of data to and from the mms114 touchscreen never > exceeds 256 bytes. In the worst case it goes up to 80 bytes in > the interrupt handler while reading the events. Since i2c_smbus_read_i2c_block_data() is limited to 32, larger packets won't be read correctly. For example, if you use more than 4 fingers you can easily trigger a situation where one of the fingers gets "stuck", together with: mms114 4-0048: Wrong touch type (0) (It attempts to read uninitialized data in this case...) So we still need the custom functions for reading the touch packet, or maybe change the driver to use regmap instead.
