A few more questions. 1. Does this patch also apply to other TI PMICs, e.g., Triton2, Reno, etc? 2. It sounds like, from the patch description, that HS I2C mode is not reliable on boards without external pullups. Shouldn't this patch (or one in the same series) provide some way for mach-omap2/board-*.c files to indicate this to the I2C code, such that HS I2C can be disallowed on those boards? Similarly, for SmartReflex, which has an internal I2C controller but does not use the OMAP I2C driver code, shouldn't there be a similar mechanism for that code? - Paul -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-omap" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
