This looks strange. First the flag is cleared and then it is (in some cases) set again.
i.MX controllers require writing a 0 to clear these bits. Vybrid controllers need writing a 1 for the same.
Yes, I understood that.
If I2SR_IIF is set in temp you ack this irq without handling it. (Which might happen if atomic is set and irqs are off?!)
This patch is only about using the correct processor specific value for acknowledging an IRQ... But I think that returning EAGAIN (which aborts the transfer) should be handling enough. At the next transfer, the controller will be set back to master mode.
Either you didn't understand what I meant, or I don't understand why you consider your patch right anyhow. So I try to explain in other and more words.
IMHO the intention here (and also what happens on i.MX) is that exactly the AL interrupt pending bit should be cleared and the IF irq is supposed to be untouched.
Given there are only two irq flags in the I2SR register (which is called IBSR on Vybrid) the status quo (i.e. without your patch) is:
On i.MX IAL is cleared On Vybrid IIF (which is called IBIF there) is cleared.
With your patch we get:
On i.MX IAL is cleared On Vybrid both IIF (aka IBIF) and IAL (aka IBAL) are cleared.
To get it right for both SoC types you have to do (e.g.):
temp = ~i2c_imx->hwdata->i2sr_clr_opcode ^ I2SR_IAL;
(and in i2c_imx_isr() the same using I2SR_IIF instead of I2SR_IAL because there currently IAL might be cleared by mistake on Vybrid).
I considered creating a patch, but as I don't have a Vybrid on my desk and on i.MX there is no change, I let you do this.
Best regards Uwe
