This is a good question. After more consideration, I think the following
condition can't exist:

  (msg_write_idx == dev->msgs_num) && (dev->status & STATUS_WRITE_IN_PROGRESS)

so this patch isn't necessary.

Thanks for your review,
Jisheng

Hi

will be masked. But if the size of i2c_msg data is longer than the size

get "controller timed out" error.

This patch fixes this issue by only masking TX_EMPTY if i2c_msg index
search is completed and write is not in progress.

This looks a possible scenario here. What I'm wondering how is the 
transfer ending and what condition in i2c_dw_isr() causes the complete() 
call?


Assuming we break the for loop in i2c_dw_xfer_msg() with buf_len > 0 and 
dev->msg_write_idx == dev->msgs_num how we get back inside the for loop 
for writing the remaining bytes and stop command?
