Can you confirm that even if we have irq pending at the i2c IP core
level, as long as we execute Step 2. below (to disable/mask all slave
interrupts), after 'enable_irq' is called, we still will not receive any
further i2c slave interrupt?
Basically I'm asking if interrupts will be "cached" at the GIC
controller level after 'disable_irq' is called. As long as that is not
the case, then I think we are good.
The goal of course is to ensure there's no further slave interrupts
after 'enable_irq' in Step 3 below.
Thanks!
