If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From c6ebcedbab7ca78984959386012a17b21183e1a3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pontus Andersson <epontan@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 2 Oct 2017 14:45:19 +0200 Subject: i2c: ismt: Separate I2C block read from SMBus block read From: Pontus Andersson <epontan@xxxxxxxxx> commit c6ebcedbab7ca78984959386012a17b21183e1a3 upstream. Commit b6c159a9cb69 ("i2c: ismt: Don't duplicate the receive length for block reads") broke I2C block reads. It aimed to fix normal SMBus block read, but changed the correct behavior of I2C block read in the process. According to Documentation/i2c/smbus-protocol, one vital difference between normal SMBus block read and I2C block read is that there is no byte count prefixed in the data sent on the wire: SMBus Block Read: i2c_smbus_read_block_data() S Addr Wr [A] Comm [A] S Addr Rd [A] [Count] A [Data] A [Data] A ... A [Data] NA P I2C Block Read: i2c_smbus_read_i2c_block_data() S Addr Wr [A] Comm [A] S Addr Rd [A] [Data] A [Data] A ... A [Data] NA P Therefore the two transaction types need to be processed differently in the driver by copying of the dma_buffer as done previously for the I2C_SMBUS_I2C_BLOCK_DATA case.
