Subject: [PATCH 1/2] i2c: designware: Only check for spurious STOP without EMPTYFIFO_HOLD_MASTER
Date: Tue, 10 Nov 2026 16:43:29 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261110154330.78515-2-sarah.maedel@hetzner-cloud.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261110154330.78515-1-sarah.maedel@hetzner-cloud.de>
Commit 560072246088 ("i2c: designware: Support of controller with
IC_EMPTYFIFO_HOLD_MASTER disabled") fails a transfer when STOP_DET is
seen while a read or write is still in progress. This is meant to catch
Tx FIFO underruns on controllers without IC_EMPTYFIFO_HOLD_MASTER_EN,
but the check is applied to all controllers.
Controllers with IC_EMPTYFIFO_HOLD_MASTER_EN hold SCL on an empty Tx
FIFO and can't underrun, but on a multi-master bus they also see
STOP_DET for other masters' transactions. The driver then disables the
adapter while the controller is still busy with the transfer. On
DW_apb_i2c 1.20a (Ampere Altra, IPMI SSIF shared with the BMC) this
leaves the master stuck with IC_ENABLE_STATUS set, and all following
transfers fail with "timeout waiting for bus ready".
Limit the check to controllers without IC_EMPTYFIFO_HOLD_MASTER, as
suggested by David LaPorte.
