[PATCH 3/3] i2c: Add i2c-nt726xx.c i2c driver for Novatek NT726xx SoCs

[SP_ISW1_AT]

From: Ben Huang <Ben_Huang@novatek.com.tw>

This patch introduce the support of i2c bus controller of
Novatek NT726xx SoCs.

This driver performs the fundamental read/write functions as
an i2c controller and supports Standard-mode and Fast-mode.
Default operation is Stardard-mode.

Re: [PATCH 3/3] i2c: Add i2c-nt726xx.c i2c driver for Novatek NT726xx SoCs

[sashiko-bot]

Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 9 potential issue(s) to consider:
- [High] Hardcoded physical addresses mapped via ioremap() without NULL checks, and unprotected read-modify-write on shared global registers.
- [High] Driver breaks generic I2C transfers by unconditionally hijacking any 2-message array.
- [High] The ISR returns IRQ_NONE without clearing the hardware interrupt status when current_msg is NULL.
- [High] Missing synchronization between the transfer timeout path and the ISR leads to a use-after-free.
- [High] Interrupts are enabled in hardware before the IRQ handler is registered, and are leaked enabled on probe failure paths.
- [High] The I2C hardware and interrupts are disabled before the adapter is unregistered in the remove function.
- [Medium] Using a custom Device Tree property to statically assign the I2C bus number.
- [Medium] Device Tree node reference is permanently leaked on the adapter registration error path.
- [Low] Unconditional assignment of PM callbacks causes dead code when PM is disabled.

i2c: Add i2c-nt726xx.c i2c driver for Novatek NT726xx SoCs

This patch introduces support for the I2C bus controller of Novatek
NT726xx SoCs. It performs fundamental read/write functions and supports
Standard-mode and Fast-mode.

[Severity: High]
Does this code map a hardcoded physical address without checking the return
value of ioremap()? If the mapping fails, readl() will dereference a NULL
pointer. Additionally, is it safe to perform an unprotected read-modify-write
on these shared global registers, or could it corrupt state if other drivers
concurrently access the Standby Controller?

[Severity: High]
If the hardware asserts an interrupt and i2c->current_msg is NULL, does
this early return skip clearing the hardware interrupt status? The write
to clear the interrupt at the end of the ISR is bypassed, which could leave
the IRQ line asserted and cause an infinite interrupt loop.

[Severity: High]
Can a use-after-free happen here if the timeout path races with the ISR?
If a transfer times out, nvt_i2c_reset() is called and current_msg is set
to NULL, but there is no synchronization (like a spinlock or
synchronize_irq()) to wait for a concurrently running ISR to finish. If the
ISR checks current_msg before it is set to NULL, the thread could return and
free msg->buf while the ISR continues to execute nvt_i2c_handle().

[Severity: High]
Does this code unconditionally intercept all 2-message arrays? By consuming
msgs[0] as a subaddress and only transmitting msgs[1], this breaks standard
I2C semantics if a user-space application or generic kernel driver issues a
regular 2-message transfer. If the first message is a read, could it lead
to reading from an uninitialized buffer and writing it to the register?

[Severity: Medium]
Is it appropriate to use a custom Device Tree property like novatek,hwmods
to statically assign the I2C adapter number? The standard Linux mechanism
for assigning bus numbers relies on the aliases node in the Device Tree
rather than custom properties.

[Severity: High]
Does nvt_i2c_init() enable hardware interrupts before devm_request_irq()
registers the software handler? If the hardware has a pending interrupt,
the kernel might receive it prematurely. Furthermore, if probe fails on
subsequent calls like devm_request_irq(), are these interrupts left enabled
in the hardware, potentially causing an unhandled interrupt storm on a
shared line?

[Severity: Medium]
If i2c_add_numbered_adapter() fails, does this return path leak the OF node
reference? The node was acquired just above with of_node_get(), and
returning directly here skips calling of_node_put().

[Severity: High]
Is the teardown order reversed here? The code disables the I2C hardware and
interrupts before calling i2c_del_adapter(). If an active transaction is
running, this will forcefully break it. Additionally, i2c_del_adapter()
ensures synchronization by draining and blocking transfers, so it should
be called first before shutting down the hardware.

[Severity: Low]
Are the pm_sleep_ptr() wrappers missing here? Without wrapping the callbacks
in the dev_pm_ops structure, this will result in dead code being compiled
into the kernel when CONFIG_PM_SLEEP is disabled.

[Severity: Low]
Does this assignment need a pm_ptr() wrapper to avoid dead code when PM is
disabled?

Re: [PATCH 2/3] dt-bindings: i2c: add Novatek NT726xx SoC i2c controller

[sashiko-bot]

Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 4 potential issue(s) to consider:
- [Low] The device tree binding schema is entirely missing the mandatory `examples` section.
- [Low] The `novatek,hwmods` property uses incorrect type constraints, lacks pattern enforcement, and has ambiguous semantics.
- [Low] The `novatek,stbc` property is defined as a `uint32` but its description indicates it is a boolean flag.
- [Low] The `reg` and `interrupts` properties permit multiple items without documenting their meaning or expected order.

[Severity: Low]
These properties permit multiple items without documenting their meaning or
expected order. Should we use an items list with descriptions so that the
purpose and expected order of each entry is defined?

> +    minItems: 1

[Severity: Low]
This property references a scalar string definition, but minItems: 1 is an
array constraint, and the description "Name of each i2c pin" suggests it
accepts multiple names. Should this be defined as a string-array instead?

Also, should we add a pattern regex (like ^i2c[0-9]+$) to enforce the
documented naming rule?

> +    $ref: /schemas/types.yaml#/definitions/uint32
> +    description: Set if this i2c master controlled by stbc.
> +    minItems: 1

[Severity: Low]
The description "Set if..." outlines a boolean state, but it is defined as a
uint32. Should this be declared using /schemas/types.yaml#/definitions/flag
instead?

Applying minItems: 1 is also redundant for a single scalar type.

> +

[Severity: Low]
Is the mandatory examples block missing from the end of this file?

All new hardware device tree binding YAML schemas require an examples block
to demonstrate how the device tree node should be written and to allow
dt_binding_check validation testing.

Re: [PATCH 3/3] i2c: Add i2c-nt726xx.c i2c driver for Novatek NT726xx SoCs.

[sashiko-bot]

Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 16 potential issue(s) to consider:
- [Critical] Timeout handling in I2C read/write lacks synchronization, leaving a dangling pointer accessible by the interrupt handler.
- [Critical] Unbinding the driver causes a NULL pointer dereference if `bus-enable` is false or missing.
- [Critical] The `clock-frequency` DT property expects kHz and causes a divide-by-zero panic if correctly configured.
- [Critical] Control register fields are bitwise ORed without clearing previous state, allowing I2C target isolation bypass.
- [High] The `master_xfer` implementation unilaterally drops or misroutes the first message of any 2-message transfer.
- [High] Virtual memory mapping leaked during initialization due to missing `iounmap()`.
- [High] The driver advertises SMBus Quick support but explicitly rejects 0-length messages.
- [High] The ISR returns `IRQ_NONE` without clearing device interrupts if no transfer is active, causing an unhandled interrupt storm.
- [High] Device interrupts are not disabled during driver removal, risking a shared IRQ storm.
- [High] The driver interacts with hardware registers without ensuring clocks and power domains are enabled.
- [Medium] The driver hardcodes physical memory addresses to access system-level control registers.
- [Medium] The driver parses custom, non-standard Device Tree properties to handle core subsystem state.
- [Medium] Unconditional assignment of PM callbacks causes dead code when PM features are disabled.
- [Medium] The commit message contains a corporate confidentiality notice.
- [Medium] Device tree node reference acquired via `of_node_get()` is never released.
- [Medium] The driver uses `writel()`/`readl()` with manual byte-packing for FIFO access instead of stream accessors.

[Severity: Medium]
Is it safe to hardcode physical memory addresses like STBC_PASSWORD to access
system-level control registers, rather than using standard Device Tree
bindings or resource management?

[Severity: High]
Does this code leak the first virtual memory mapping? The pointer assigned
to reg_tmp from ioremap is overwritten here without a corresponding iounmap(),
creating a persistent leak.

[Severity: Critical]
Does this assume the clock-frequency property is in kHz?

The device tree standard mandates it is specified in Hertz. If a standard
value like 400000 is provided, could this integer division result in 0,
locking up the hardware or causing a divide-by-zero kernel panic?

Could this read from uninitialized memory if the first message in a
transfer is a read command?

[Severity: Medium]
Would it be better to use stream accessors like writesl() instead of manually
byte-packing into a writel() call? The standard register accessors perform
implicit byte-swapping which may be unintended for FIFO data streams.

[Severity: High]
If an interrupt is active but i2c->current_msg is NULL, could returning
IRQ_NONE without clearing the hardware interrupt flag cause an unhandled
interrupt storm on a shared, level-triggered line?

> +	} else if (status & I2C_IRQ_TX_EMPTY) {

> +			nvt_i2c_handle(i2c, msg, 0);

[Severity: Critical]
Can this result in a use-after-free regression if the wait_for_completion
expires?

If wait_for_completion_timeout() times out in nvt_i2c_write(), it sets
i2c->current_msg to NULL and returns, leaving the stack-allocated msg
to be freed. If an interrupt fires at that exact moment, the asynchronous
ISR might have already copied i2c->current_msg to the local msg variable
before it was cleared, leading to nvt_i2c_handle() accessing freed
stack memory.

[Severity: High]
Will this reject 0-length messages explicitly? The adapter advertises
I2C_FUNC_SMBUS_EMUL later on, which implies support for SMBus Quick
commands that rely on 0-length transactions.

[Severity: Critical]
Does this bitwise-OR the target address without first clearing the existing
address bits in the control mask?

During a sequence of multiple messages in a single transfer, the previous
address might not be cleared, causing subsequent messages to transmit a
corrupted, logically-combined address on the bus. This could potentially
bypass I2C target isolation checks.

[Severity: High]
Does this unilaterally drop the first message of any 2-message transfer and
treat it as a hardware subaddress? This could break standard 2-message I2C
sequences, such as interacting with two separate targets or consecutive writes.

[ ... ]

[ ... ]
> +	/* read DTS(bus-enable) */
> +	ret = of_property_read_u32(np, "bus-enable", &i2c->bus_enable);

[Severity: Medium]
Is there a reason to parse custom properties like nvt,hwmods and bus-enable
instead of relying on standard I2C core bindings like aliases and the
standard status = "disabled" flag?

[ ... ]
> +static int nvt_i2c_probe(struct platform_device *pdev)

[ ... ]

> +	if (ret || !i2c->bus_enable)
> +		return ret;

[Severity: Critical]
If bus-enable is false, this returns 0 (success) before calling
platform_set_drvdata(). Could this cause a NULL pointer dereference
later during unbind when nvt_i2c_remove() fetches the empty drvdata?

> +
> +	nvt_i2c_init(i2c);

[Severity: High]
Does nvt_i2c_init() access hardware registers before ensuring the system bus
clocks and I2C power domain are enabled? Accessing a clock-gated or
powered-down peripheral can trigger an imprecise external abort.

[ ... ]
> +	i2c->adapter.dev.of_node = of_node_get(pdev->dev.of_node);

[Severity: Medium]
Is this of_node reference ever released? There doesn't appear to be a
matching of_node_put() in the teardown paths, which would cause a memory
leak across bind/unbind cycles.

[ ... ]
> +static void nvt_i2c_remove(struct platform_device *pdev)
> +{
> +	struct nvt_i2c_bus *i2c = platform_get_drvdata(pdev);
> +

> +}

[Severity: High]
Should device hardware interrupts be disabled before unregistering the
adapter and removing the driver? Since a shared IRQ line is requested,
an interrupt fired during or after teardown could cause an unhandled
interrupt storm.

[Severity: Medium]
Would it be better to wrap these callback assignments with pm_sleep_ptr()
to avoid generating dead code when PM features are disabled?

[Severity: Medium]
Similarly, should the pm structure pointer be wrapped with pm_ptr()?

Hi,

thank you for your contribution! Sadly, I have to mention a few formal
issues first.

a) Please, no HTML messages.
b) we can't apply patches with a header like this because we distribute
the code to the whole world.
c) the sender e-mail address doesn't match the author or signed-off
e-mail address. Who is the sender?

All the best,
