The code to read from the master read fifo, and write to the master write fifo, checks a bit in an SCB register before every byte to ensure that the fifo is not full (write fifo) or empty (read fifo). Due to clock domain crossing inside the SCB block the updated value of this bit is only visible after 2 cycles. The scb_wr_rd_fence() function does 2 dummy writes (to the read-only revision register), and it's called before reading from or writing to the fifos to ensure that subsequent reads of the fifo status bits do not read stale values. The 2 dummy writes are required in all versions of the ip since 2.2.1 Fixes: 27bce457d588 (i2c: img-scb: Add Imagination Technologies I2C SCB driver) Signed-off-by: Sifan Naeem <sifan.naeem@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-img-scb.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-img-scb.c b/drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-img-scb.c index 00ffd66..3c1dcd2 100644 --- a/drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-img-scb.c +++ b/drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-img-scb.c @@ -1120,7 +1120,7 @@ static int img_i2c_init(struct img_i2c *i2c) return -EINVAL; } - if (rev == REL_SOC_IP_SCB_2_2_1) { + if (rev >= REL_SOC_IP_SCB_2_2_1) { i2c->need_wr_rd_fence = true; dev_info(i2c->adap.dev.parent, "fence quirk enabled"); } -- 1.7.9.5 -- 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
