This on the other hand will redo the entire transfer. So if we get a nak but not on the first message we end up repeating the succesful part of the transfer twice. To match i2c-algo-bit we'd need to do the retry for each individual message. I suppose that would make the error handling more complicated as we'd supposedly still need to clear the error, but then repeat the same msg without generating a STOP in between. > + > + return ret; > +} > + > static u32 gmbus_func(struct i2c_adapter *adapter) > { > return i2c_bit_algo.functionality(adapter) & > -- > 2.1.4 > > _______________________________________________ > Intel-gfx mailing list > Intel-gfx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/intel-gfx -- Ville Syrjälä Intel OTC -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe stable" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
