Looks like the comment could be removed altogether because it doesn't
make sense since interrupt handler is under xfer_lock which is kept
locked during of tegra_i2c_xfer_msg().
I would push a separate patch to remove this comment because of
xfer_lock in ISR now.


Moreover the comment says that "PACKET_XFER_COMPLETE is not maskable",
but then what I2C_INT_PACKET_XFER_COMPLETE masking does?

I2C_INT_PACKET_XFER_COMPLETE masking support available in Tegra chips
newer than Tegra30 allows one to not see interrupt after Packet transfer
complete. With the xfer_lock in ISR the scenario discussed in comment
can be ignored.

Also note that xfer_lock could be removed and replaced with a just
irq_enable/disable() calls in tegra_i2c_xfer_msg() because we only care
about IRQ not firing during of the preparation process.
This should need sufficient testing hence let us do it in a different series.

I don't think that there is much to test here since obviously it should work.

I shall push a patch for this as basic i2c read write test passed.


It also looks like tegra_i2c_[un]nmask_irq isn't really needed and all
IRQ's could be simply unmasked during the driver's probe, in that case
it may worth to add a kind of "in-progress" flag to catch erroneous
interrupts.

TX interrupt needs special handling if this change is done. Hence I think it should be
taken up after sufficient testing in a separate patch.

This one is indeed a bit more trickier. Probably another alternative could be to keep GIC
interrupt disabled while no transfer is performed, then you'll have to request interrupt
in a disabled state using IRQ_NOAUTOEN flag.

And yes, that all should be a separate changes if you're going to implement them.

OK

-Thanks,
 Bitan
