Symptom:
--------
When we're going to send/receive the data with bigger size than the
Tx FIFO length, the I2C transaction will be divided into several
separated transactions, limited by the Tx FIFO length.
Details:
--------
As a hardware feature, DesignWare I2C core emits a STOP condition
whenever Tx FIFO becomes empty (strictly speaking, whenever the last
byte in the Tx FIFO has been sent out), even if we have more bytes to
be written. Then, once a new transmit data is written to the Tx FIFO,
DW I2C core will initiate a new I2C transaction, which leads to another
START condition.
This explains how the transaction in question goes, and implies that
current tasklet-based dw_i2c_pump_msg() couldn't meet the timing
constraint required for avoiding the Tx FIFO underrun.
To avoid this scenario, we must keep providing new transmit data out
within a given time period. In case of Fast-mode + 32-byte Tx FIFO,
for instance, it takes about 22.5[us] to process one byte, and 720[us]
in total.
This patch removes the existing tasklet-based "pump" system, then put
its jobs into the interrupt handler.
