Between > MR and GETACCMST may happen everything as in a Master-Slave topology. Like what? Be more specific, I want real examples that don't work because of the way mastership handover is done in Przemek's proposal. > For me, poll the controller to check when GETACCMST arrive and lock > everything is not a solution. We don't lock everything: other devs can still communicate until we've acquired the bus, and the slave end of your master should also work (since the master is still not acting as a master yet). We do prevent new MR request once we've acquired the bus to avoid situations where another master requests bus ownership before we could send the messages we were asked to send (device driver request). But that's a completely orthogonal thing, and has nothing to do with the polling solution you seem to complain about. BTW, you don't have to poll the reg value, using interrupt-based waiting is fine too. My point is, if we want to keep the code simple, we have to make this operation synchronous from the caller PoV. _______________________________________________ linux-i3c mailing list linux-i3c@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-i3c
