[PATCH v2 0/4] i2c: tegra: Improve DMA mapping, latency, and power management

[Akhil R]

This series addresses several aspects of the Tegra I2C driver:

- DMA mapping: Use the proper DMA device for buffer allocation to
  ensure correct DMA address translation.
- Transfer latency: Disable fair arbitration on non-MCTP buses to
  reduce transfer latency.
- Timing parameters: Update I2C timing values for Tegra410.
- Power management: Keep the controller available during noirq
  suspend/resume phases for system dependencies.

v1->v2:
  * Add description for is_mctp in the struct

Akhil R (4):
  i2c: tegra: use dmaengine_get_dma_device() for DMA buffer allocation
  i2c: tegra: Disable fair arbitration for non-MCTP buses
  i2c: tegra: Update Tegra410 I2C timing parameters
  i2c: tegra: Fix NOIRQ suspend/resume

[PATCH v2 1/4] i2c: tegra: use dmaengine_get_dma_device() for DMA buffer allocation

[Akhil R]

Use dmaengine_get_dma_device() to obtain the correct struct device
pointer for dma_alloc_coherent() instead of directly dereferencing
chan->device->dev.

The dmaengine_get_dma_device() helper checks whether the DMA channel
has a per-channel DMA device (chan->dev->chan_dma_dev) and returns it
when available, falling back to the controller device otherwise. On
platforms where the DMA controller sits behind an IOMMU with
per-channel IOVA spaces (e.g. Tegra264 GPC DMA), the per-channel
device carries the correct DMA mapping context. Using the controller
device directly would allocate DMA buffers against the wrong IOMMU
domain, leading to SMMU faults at runtime.

On platforms without per-channel DMA devices the helper returns the
same pointer as before, so there is no change in behavior for existing
hardware.

[PATCH v2 2/4] i2c: tegra: Disable fair arbitration for non-MCTP buses

[Akhil R]

Recent Tegra I2C controllers have a fairness arbitration register, which
allows configuring the fair idle time required to support MCTP protocol
over I2C. It is enabled by default, adding a per-transfer latency overhead
that impacts non-MCTP I2C buses.

Disable the fairness arbitration register during controller init for buses
that are not MCTP controllers.

[PATCH v2 4/4] i2c: tegra: Fix NOIRQ suspend/resume

[Akhil R]

The Tegra I2C driver relies on runtime PM to wake up the controller before
each transfer. However, runtime PM is disabled between the system suspend
and NOIRQ suspend. If an I2C device initiates a transfer during this
window, the I2C controller fails to wake up and the transfer fails. To
handle this, the controller must be kept available for this period to
allow transfers.

Rework the I2C controller's system PM callbacks such that the controller
is resumed from runtime suspend during system suspend and it stays
RPM_ACTIVE throughout the suspend-resume cycle until it is runtime
suspended back in the system resume. The clocks are disabled in NOIRQ
suspend and enabled back in NOIRQ resume by calling the controller's
runtime PM functions directly.

You are right. They are independent patches and do not have any link.
I missed to put them first in the series.
