This is not really material directly for trivial.git. Adding maintainers

Yes, this should not go via trivial. Please resend to i2c list. Patch
looks okay from a glimpse (and fixes an issue we have seen before and
fixed the same way).

Just curios to know why reinitializing the i2c controller is a bad idea?
This fix looks perfect but if we know that there is only one i2c device
currently being controlled by controller.Can we(i know it is expensive
compare to the fix provided) not re-initialize the i2c-controller?

Basically OK, but you have lots of whitespace issues, so I can't apply
your patch. Please resend and make sure it applies.

This is a known issue.  However I don't think the solution you have is
correct...

If the wait is not interruptible, I think you will not be able to 'kill
-9' a userspace process blocked here.

The real solution is to move processing of the I2C protocol to a kernel
thread and communicate between the this thread and userspace via a
command queue mechanism, much like the way it is done in the mmc/host
driver infrastructure.

I2C: Fix i2c fail problem when a process is terminated by a signal on octeon in 3.8

I've been debugging the abnormal operation of i2c on octeon. 
If a process is terminated by signal in the middle of i2c operation, 
next i2c read operation which is done by another process was failed.
So i changed to ignore signal in the middle of i2c operation. 
After that the problem was not reproduced.
