Hey all - This is a fix for the recently added CS5535/CS5536 support in the scx200_acb driver. This works around an errata in the CS5535 that sometimes results in NEGACK not being cleared. It would be great if we could get this into 2.6.17 with the driver. Regards, Jordan -- Jordan Crouse Senior Linux Engineer AMD - Personal Connectivity Solutions Group <www.amd.com/embeddedprocessors> -------------- next part -------------- [PATCH] scx200_acb: Fix for negack clear errata From: Jordan Crouse <jordan.crouse at amd.com> This patch is a fix for the CS5535 errata 111: When the SMB controller tries to access a non-existing device, it sets the NEGACK bit, SMB I/O Offset 01h[4], to 1 after it detects no acknowledge at the ninth clock. The specification says there are only two ways to clear this status bit: write 1 to this bit or disable the SMB controller. Sometimes this bit is cleared by a read of this register, but not always.
