Re: Are the I2C drivers on MPC8540 Kernel 2.6.10 working?

[Kumar Gala <kumar.gala@freescale.com>]

One issue with the 2.6.10 driver was it was very slow.  I changed some=20=

sleep calls in 2.6.11 to improve its performance.  You may want to try=20=

grabbing the driver out of 2.6.11-rc3 and see if that helps also.
