Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] i2c: imx: Don't recover bus when arbitration lost
Date: Fri, 24 Apr 2026 13:36:46 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260424-i2c-imx-fixes-v2-1-34fb9504aaeb@ideasonboard.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260424-i2c-imx-fixes-v2-0-34fb9504aaeb@ideasonboard.com>
In i2c_imx_xfer_common(), the driver attempts bus recovery whenever
i2c_imx_start() fails. One of the failure modes for i2c_imx_start()
is an arbitration-lost signal which results when a second I2C master
on the bus tries to control the bus simultaneously, which is a normal
and expected behaviour.
Bus recovery is not the right response for this case. Add a check for
the -EAGAIN return code to avoid running the bus recovery.
Fixes: 1c4b6c3bcf30d ("i2c: imx: implement bus recovery")
