This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled i2c: imx: defer probe if bus recovery GPIOs are not ready 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-imx-defer-probe-if-bus-recovery-gpios-are-not-ready.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. >From 533169d164c6b4c8571d0d48779f6ff6be593d72 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stefan Agner <stefan@xxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 26 Sep 2016 17:18:58 -0700 Subject: i2c: imx: defer probe if bus recovery GPIOs are not ready MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit From: Stefan Agner <stefan@xxxxxxxx> commit 533169d164c6b4c8571d0d48779f6ff6be593d72 upstream. Some SoC might load the GPIO driver after the I2C driver and using the I2C bus recovery mechanism via GPIOs. In this case it is crucial to defer probing if the GPIO request functions do so, otherwise the I2C driver gets loaded without recovery mechanisms enabled.
