Subject: [PATCH v3] i2c: designware: Enable SAR in slave mode for Multiple SAR controllers
Date: Wed, 12 Aug 2026 17:15:14 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260812114514.3817964-1-ukumar@marvell.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260804041842.3205356-1-ukumar@marvell.com>
DesignWare controllers synthesised with the Multiple SAR feature (e.g.
Marvell CN20K) gate the primary slave address behind IC_ENABLE.SAR_EN
(bit 19). Per the Synopsys DW_apb_i2c DataBook (Multiple SAR feature),
when this bit is set the core acknowledges the address matching IC_SAR;
otherwise the address is NACKed. The slave enable path writes only
IC_ENABLE.ENABLE (bit 0), so on such controllers the target never ACKs
its address and a remote master cannot reach it.
Set SAR_EN together with ENABLE when entering slave mode. The bit is
reserved (and ignored) on single-SAR controllers, so existing users are
unaffected.
