According to our 792 Windows driver author CLHuang2 and the information from
ALI M1563 data sheet, it seems that we should move the HST_STS_DONE check from
ali1563_transaction() into the function ali1563_access(), only when the
transaction is Block Read/Write, and ignore the Byte Read/Write transaction.
Patrick, would you please confirm it?
I want to supply more information here:
When I debug the i2c-ali1563 and my w83792d driver, I find that when I load
these two modules, the function ali1563_access()/ali1563_transaction()
will be called for 81 times, but the error message "SMBus Error: Timeout Device
Error Transaction Never Finished" only appears at the first 4 times, In the next
77 times, there is no "SMBus Error" message. And in these 81
ali1563_access()/ali1563_transaction() calls, I2C_SMBUS_BYTE_DATA byte
transaction appears for 79 times, and I2C_SMBUS_QUICK transaction appears for
2 times, there is no block transaction appeared.
Could you tell me the function of I2C_SMBUS_QUICK transaction? And why the first
4 data transaction lead to "SMBus Error"?
I attached the debug message and the modified i2c-ali1563.c in this mail, please
check it.
Thanks
Best Regards
Chunhao

Hi , Rudolf:
The bit7(BYTE_DONE_STS) - The SMBus host controller sets this bit after
receiving a byte for Block Read or after transmitting a byte for Block Write.This
bit will be set even when transferring the last byte of the block transfer. It
will be cleared by writing a ??1?? to this bit.
And we set BYTE Read/Write transaction in our driver , so that this bit is
useless.

I'm sorry I cant give you authoritative answer. But from my point of
view it is not good strategy. I simply do not like "lets do something and
hope it worked)
Jean? MDS? Patrick? Philip?
I would like really to know if SMM code is talking to the bus same time.
If so, then it would explain a lot. And if we now how it is working, we
might find some more clean solution.

Rudolf
