However, there might be cases where rcar_i2c_probe() is called, but the I2C hardware is *not* in reset state. E.g. if just the Linux operating system was re-started by a supervisor. But the hardware didn't get a reset. For cases like this make sure that the I2C hardware interrupts are cleared properly before devm_request_irq() is called. This is inspired by rcar_i2c_init().

This might be testable by shutting down Linux to e.g. suspend to RAM. And then, instead of resume, re-start (cold start) the kernel. So that probe() is called and uses a non-reset I2C peripheral. diff --git a/drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-rcar.c b/drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-rcar.c index 828aa2ea0fe4..5f46955167c4 100644 --- a/drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-rcar.c +++ b/drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-rcar.c @@ -1183,6 +1183,12 @@ static int rcar_i2c_probe(struct platform_device *pdev) ret = platform_get_irq(pdev, 0); if (ret < 0) goto out_pm_put; + + /* reset master mode */ + rcar_i2c_write(priv, ICMIER, 0); + rcar_i2c_write(priv, ICMCR, MDBS); + rcar_i2c_write(priv, ICMSR, 0); + priv->irq = ret; ret = devm_request_irq(dev, priv->irq, irqhandler, irqflags, dev_name(dev), priv); if (ret < 0) { -- 2.28.0
