This patch series fixes a whole chunk of problems with this driver, discovered with the Marvell Armada 510 chip on the Solid-run cubox.
Most notable of these is the I2C driver aborting a transaction because a signal is pending - which might be SIGPIPE or SIGALRM for the process. Meanwhile, the calling driver may be in the middle of a critical read-modify-write cycle on a device register, causing it to fail. Other problems are race conditions in the handling of multi-part messages, where we end up sending multiple start conditions - sometimes more times than we have i2c_msg's to send. Lastly is the rather poor probe error handling, which ranges from non-existent to lacking propagating the provided error code. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-i2c" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
