This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled i2c: rk3x: Handle a spurious start completion interrupt flag to the 4.4-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: i2c-rk3x-handle-a-spurious-start-completion-interrup.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.4 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 370e31d95faf8e388d89c93c659fdc3c323c2a15 Author: Ondrej Jirman <megous@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri Sep 24 13:15:27 2021 +0200 i2c: rk3x: Handle a spurious start completion interrupt flag [ Upstream commit 02fe0fbd8a21e183687925c3a266ae27dda9840f ] In a typical read transfer, start completion flag is being set after read finishes (notice ipd bit 4 being set): trasnfer poll=0 i2c start rk3x-i2c fdd40000.i2c: IRQ: state 1, ipd: 10 i2c read rk3x-i2c fdd40000.i2c: IRQ: state 2, ipd: 1b i2c stop rk3x-i2c fdd40000.i2c: IRQ: state 4, ipd: 33 This causes I2C transfer being aborted in polled mode from a stop completion handler: trasnfer poll=1 i2c start rk3x-i2c fdd40000.i2c: IRQ: state 1, ipd: 10 i2c read rk3x-i2c fdd40000.i2c: IRQ: state 2, ipd: 0 rk3x-i2c fdd40000.i2c: IRQ: state 2, ipd: 1b i2c stop rk3x-i2c fdd40000.i2c: IRQ: state 4, ipd: 13 i2c stop rk3x-i2c fdd40000.i2c: unexpected irq in STOP: 0x10 Clearing the START flag after read fixes the issue without any obvious side effects. This issue was dicovered on RK3566 when adding support for powering off the RK817 PMIC.
