Thank you, much better!

With this I get:

    1# gpio-sloppy-logic-analyzer -s 1500000 -t 1H+2F -d 15000
    Auto-Isolating CPU1
    Setting up 'i2c2-analyzer': 22500 samples at 1500000Hz with 1H+2F
trigger using CPU1
    1# echo: write error: Numerical result out of range
    Capture error! Check kernel log

kernel log has:

    gpio-sloppy-logic-analyzer i2c2-analyzer: couldn't read GPIOs: -34

with debug code:

    priv->delay_ns = 666
    priv->acq_delay = 2342

Whoops, R-Car M2-W GPIO is too slow (clocked at 10 MHz, compared to 66
MHz on R-Car H3 ES2.0)?

Retry with slower speed, until it works:

    1# gpio-sloppy-logic-analyzer -s 300000 -t 1H+2F -d 15000
    Setting up 'i2c2-analyzer': 4500 samples at 300000Hz with 1H+2F
trigger using CPU1
    2# i2cdetect -y 2
    1# cp: cannot stat
'/sys/kernel/debug/gpio-sloppy-logic-analyzer/i2c2-analyzer/sample_data':
No such file or directory

And the sample_data file is indeed missing.

After reboot, everything works fine, and I can no longer reproduce the
missing file issue above, even when repeating the same steps.
The resulting data file can be viewed with pulseview, and I can see SCL
and SDA activity. Nice!

Gr{oetje,eeting}s,
