Subject: [PATCH 2/2] i2c: designware: Abort stuck master when disabling times out
Date: Tue, 10 Nov 2026 16:43:30 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261110154330.78515-3-sarah.maedel@hetzner-cloud.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261110154330.78515-1-sarah.maedel@hetzner-cloud.de>

__i2c_dw_disable() only aborts the current transfer if MST_ON_HOLD or
MASTER_HOLD_TX_FIFO_EMPTY is set. These bits only exist with
IC_STAT_FOR_CLK_STRETCH, so on other configurations a master left
holding the bus can't be disabled: IC_ENABLE_STATUS stays set and
IC_STATUS keeps reporting MST_ACTIVITY.

If the master is still active once the disable loop has timed out,
abort the transfer and try again. Also disable the adapter from
i2c_dw_wait_bus_not_busy() when bus recovery didn't help, so the next
transfer recovers the controller.

Tested on Ampere Altra by putting the controller into this state
through /dev/mem (a write without STOP, then clearing IC_ENABLE).
