This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled i2c: i2c-cadence: Initialize configuration before probing devices to the 4.9-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-i2c-cadence-initialize-configuration-before-probing-devices.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.9 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From foo@baz Wed Dec 6 17:39:55 CET 2017 From: Mike Looijmans <mike.looijmans@xxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 16 Jan 2017 15:49:38 +0100 Subject: i2c: i2c-cadence: Initialize configuration before probing devices From: Mike Looijmans <mike.looijmans@xxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 0e1929dedea36781e25902118c93edd8d8f09af1 ] The cadence I2C driver calls cdns_i2c_writereg(..) to setup a workaround in the controller, but did so after calling i2c_add_adapter() which starts probing devices on the bus. Change the order so that the configuration is completely finished before using the adapter.
