According to the i.MX8M Mini reference manual chapter "16.1.4.2
Generation of Start" it is only necessary to poll for bus busy and
arbitration lost in multi master mode. This helps to avoid rescheduling
while the i2c bus is busy and avoids SMBus devices to timeout.

This fixes a pca953x probe error on an imx8mp board running linux-stable 6.6:

[    1.893260] pca953x 2-0020: failed writing register
[    1.898258] pca953x 2-0020: probe with driver pca953x failed with error -11

Could you please add a Fixes tag and Cc stable so that this can reach
the stable kernels?

Thanks a lot,

It looks like with this patch, the I2SR_IAL interrupt is not cleared.
I would expect some kind of interrupt storm. Can you confirm it?

Thanks a lot for testing. Are the other patches required as well or did
only introducing the master mode flag solve the issue?

This is a good question. i2c_imx_trx_complete was never called in the
interrupt handler. So that would mean the storm would already be there
before just for a shorter time. We only clear the IFF flag in the isr.

Unfortunately, I don't have a device that uses multi master mode and we
would only see it on such a device. However, also from the reference
manual:

> the interrupt service routine

So most likely it was wrong the whole the time we just didn't see it
before, could that be? I think a fix would be relatively easy we have to
clear it at the beginning of the isr but after we read the status. I
could add this to the series if you agree.

Stefan

Only applying this one fixed the problem.

I have just inspected 'cat /proc/interrupts' and no interrupt storm is seen.

you might also want to add the multi-master boolean property in

The other patches don't need the Fix tag.

One question, does the issue happen with atomic transfers or any
transfers?

Please, if you can't test the patch don't send it.

Oleksij, I need your ack to apply this patch. What do you think
here?

We discussed this internally and weren't sure when it was required
because e.g. i2c-rcar and i2c-tegra don't have it documented in their
bindings. Is it still required if it is part of the dt-schema?
https://github.com/devicetree-org/dt-schema/blob/main/dtschema/schemas/i2c/i2c-controller.yaml

If so, I will add it in the next version.

Thanks,
Stefan

The i2c-imx.yaml has "unevaluatedProperties: false", which fill discard
every thing not in this yaml

I am sorry, but I have to withdraw my Tested-by tag.

For debugging purposes, I kept 'fw_devlink=off' in the kernel command
line and that's what made it work.

Removing 'fw_devlink=off' I still get the probe failure, even with all
the series from Stefan applied:

[    1.849097] pca953x 2-0020: supply vcc not found, using dummy regulator
[    1.855857] pca953x 2-0020: using no AI
[    1.859965] i2c i2c-2: <i2c_imx_write> write failed with -6
[    1.865578] pca953x 2-0020: failed writing register: -6

In my case, I can get the pca953x driver to probe successfully in one
of the following cases:

1. Select pca953x as a module instead of built-in

or

2. Pass 'fw_devlink=off' in the kernel command line

or

3.  Register the i2c-imx driver as module_platform_driver():

Stefan, do you get the arbitration errors if you try methods 2 or 3 above?

I will try to test this on my end tomorrow. In our test case however one
problem was that when the schedule was called the ADC (TI ADS1015) may
timeout if it is not processed within 25ms which sometimes happened.
However, it also requires the other change because even if we have not
set multi-master, the wakeup of the sender/receiver thread can take too
much time, so we still end up in this 25ms timeout. This only happens
when the system is under heavy load.

In your setup, do you know what mode (atomic, interrupt, dma) the driver
uses when it works and when it fails?

On the imx8mp board I am testing, the very first I2C register write
done by the pca935x driver fails.

sorry for the confusion, please don't add it. I had a chat with
Krzysztof and I will quote him: "this is a core property, coming
with dtschema, so they dont need to update bindings".

He also sent a cleanup to remove the only binding using it.

I have tried method 3 an it did not work for me. I still have the same
issue as before that sometimes the timeout occurs and the ads1015 will
not ack anymore. So the patch series is still the only way I found so
far to get rid of the problem. I also checked the datasheet of a pca953x
device (PCAL6416A) and it doesn't seem to have a timeout mechanism.
Therefore, I don't think we are affected by the same issue.

No problem, thanks for the clarification. 

Should I still separate the multi-master patch from the rest of the
series, even though it doesn't seem to fix the problem Fabio sees? I did
some more testing today and the workarounds he found do not solve the
problem I see, so they are definitely not the same.

Stefan

I'll try to review your DMA patches next week.
