Hi all,

This helps with the annoying I2C timeouts. Does anybody have an idea
why the twl4030 chip does not like doing multiple transfers in a row?

To me the only difference seems to be that clocks are idled between
writing the twl4030 register and reading the register value.

Regards,

Tony

Subject: [PATCH] I2C: Fix twl4030 timeouts on omap3430

For some reason doing a twl4030 write-read cycle can hang the I2C bus
on omap3430. And doing the write and read separately in twl4030_i2c_read()
seems to fix the problem...

Not intended for applying, just a temporary workaround.
