OK, let's try this once more, since my mail did not seem to go to linux-omap. Sorry for the spam.

Well, I don't completely agree with the necessity of preparing for different rx/tx thresholds. For this to make sense, the i2c-omap driver should first separate in it's code the use of rx and tx thresholds. If someone is planning to do that, he/she should anyway update the usage of fifo_size throughout the code, including the wake up latency setting. Anyways, attached a patch that separates the mpu wake up latencies for rx and tx. In case that is needed. Though I'm not for it, since it adds unneeded complexity. - Kalle > > > > > /* reset ASAP, clearing any IRQs */ > > diff --git a/include/linux/i2c-omap.h b/include/linux/i2c-omap.h > > new file mode 100644 > > index 0000000..1362fba > > --- /dev/null > > +++ b/include/linux/i2c-omap.h > > @@ -0,0 +1,9 @@ > > +#ifndef __I2C_OMAP_H__ > > +#define __I2C_OMAP_H__ > > + > > +struct omap_i2c_bus_platform_data { > > + u32 clkrate; > > + void (*set_mpu_wkup_lat)(struct device *dev, int set); > > +}; > > + > > +#endif > > -- > > 1.5.4.3 > > Regards > Moiz Sonasath >
