[PATCH 0/6] Fix R-Car I2C data byte sent twice issue

[Fabrizio Castro]

Hello Greg,

this series fixes an issue with the I2C driver of the Renesas R-Car and
RZ/G1 family of chips. The issue is clearly visible with the CIP kernel
(4.4) running on a iwg20d board from iWave due to the way the bq32000
driver/device is interacting with the I2C driver/controller.
In the stable kernel (4.4) there is no support for the iwg20d, I tried
to replicate the same problem on a Koelsch board with no success, but
the problem is there.

Do you think this series is suitable for (4.4) stable considering I
can't reproduce the problem on the Koelsch board?

This patches apply on top of 4.4.133.

Thanks,
Fab

[PATCH 1/6] i2c: rcar: make sure clocks are on when doing clock calculation

[Fabrizio Castro]

From: Wolfram Sang <wsa+renesas@sang-engineering.com>

commit e43e0df13f8528ca55ed79f469c4b2af897fa796 upstream.

When calculating the bus speed, the clock should be on, of course. Most
bootloaders left them on, so this went unnoticed so far.

Move the ioremapping out of this clock-enabled-block and prepare for
adding hw initialization there, too.

[PATCH 2/6] i2c: rcar: rework hw init

[Fabrizio Castro]

From: Wolfram Sang <wsa+renesas@sang-engineering.com>

commit 2c78cdc1c06308a59d6ed4145cdba73fdeff8c0d upstream.

We don't need to init HW before every transfer since we know the HW
state then. HW init at probe time is enough. While here, add setting the
clock register which belongs to init HW. Also, set MDBS bit since not
setting it is prohibited according to the manual.

[PATCH 4/6] i2c: rcar: remove spinlock

[Fabrizio Castro]

From: Wolfram Sang <wsa+renesas@sang-engineering.com>

commit ff2316b87a336bff940939cd9fc56287ed48e578 upstream.

After making sure to reinit the HW and clear interrupts in the timeout
case, we know that interrupts are always disabled in the sections
protected by the spinlock. Thus, we can simply remove it which is a
preparation for further refactoring. While here, rename the timeout
variable to time_left which is way more readable.

[PATCH 6/6] i2c: rcar: init new messages in irq

[Fabrizio Castro]

From: Wolfram Sang <wsa+renesas@sang-engineering.com>

commit cc21d0b4b62e41e5013d763adade5ea4462c33a4 upstream.

Setting up new messages was done in process context while handling a
message was in interrupt context. Because of the HW design, this IP core
is sensitive to timing, so the context switches were too expensive. Move
this setup to interrupt context as well.

In my test setup, this fixed the occasional 'data byte sent twice' issue
which a number of people have seen. It also fixes to send REP_START
after a read message which was wrongly send as a STOP + START sequence
before.

For the record, this patchset was developed on a Lager board (R-Car H2)
but the issue was known to be present on other Gen2 SoCs, too. This was
a nasty race condition. IIRC I was able to reproduce the issue only with
the first transfer after boot (for whatever reason). And fixing it,
together with another issue (double address byte), needed all this
refactoring.

I might try to recap how this double data byte problem was triggered.
This is somewhere on my todo-list anyhow. Just to check if the same
problem is still present with Gen3 SoCs. No promises, but I'll see what
I can do.

If you want this double address problem fixed, too, you need more
patches of this series up to commit 52df445f29b7 ("i2c: rcar: revoke
START request early").

Thank you for the information, I may give it a try.

I'll send a new series to fix the double address byte issue.

With respect to the changelog for commit 52df445f29b7 ("i2c: rcar: revoke
START request early"), in particular:
"This patch improves the situation but sadly does not completely fix it.
It is still to be researched if we can do better given this HW design."
This is still the best we can do so far, isn't it?

Thanks,
Fab

Yes, I think so. Gen3 seems to have this fixed in HW.

It looks good, all now queued up.
