Subject: [PATCH 1/3] i2c: mux: pca954x: Track unknown channel state
Date: Fri, 6 Nov 2026 12:33:20 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <ae175c48a03114c23a59a20b6fbe086a9cf1ea16.1793997098.git.bvanassche@acm.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1793997098.git.bvanassche@acm.org>
pca954x sets last_chan to 0 (disconnected) if initializing, selecting
or disconnecting the mux fails. A failed write may have reached the
mux, e.g. if only the ACK was lost, so the mux state is unknown after
such a failure. Since idle_state_store() skips the disconnect write if
last_chan is 0 and the new idle state is MUX_IDLE_DISCONNECT, a channel
may remain connected after the idle state has been set to disconnect.
Set last_chan to -1 (unknown) after any failed control register write
so that idle_state_store() no longer mistakes an unknown mux state for
disconnected. Make the last_chan test in idle_state_store() explicit
since last_chan is no longer a plain register value. Make
pca954x_init() use a local variable for the register value so that
last_chan is only updated once the outcome of the register write is
known.
