Hi Wolfram, Patches #1 & #2 contain the fixes that didn't make 4.9. We've double-checked that they are working on Octeon MIPS cn71xx, so I hope there are no surprises this time. Patch #3 is my original attempt on limiting the number of retries for the i2c device register access. As I found out we need to keep this simple, because these functions are called very early in the i2c driver and also from all types of context. Patch #4 addresses a bug report I got. I haven't seen this myself, but apparently depending on probing method and/or hardware type ipmi_ssif can fail to detect the IPMI device. Setting the class in the adapter solves the problem and seems harmless. Tested on MIPS Octeon CN71xx and ARM64 ThunderX on 4.9-rc8. thanks, Jan ----------------------- Jan Glauber (4): i2c: octeon: thunderx: TWSI software reset in recovery i2c: octeon: thunderx: Remove double-check after interrupt i2c: octeon: thunderx: Limit register access retries i2c: octeon: thunderx: Add I2C_CLASS_HWMON drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-octeon-core.c | 50 +++++--------------------------- drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-octeon-core.h | 21 ++++++++++---- drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-octeon-platdrv.c | 1 + drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-thunderx-pcidrv.c | 1 + 4 files changed, 26 insertions(+), 47 deletions(-) -- 2.9.0.rc0.21.g7777322
