Subject: [PATCH v2 2/8] i2c: at91: add warning about transmission issues for some devices
Date: Mon, 3 Sep 2012 12:16:01 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1346667367-7969-3-git-send-email-ludovic.desroches@atmel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1346667367-7969-1-git-send-email-ludovic.desroches-AIFe0yeh4nAAvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org>

From: Ludovic Desroches <ludovic.desroches-AIFe0yeh4nAAvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org>

Some devices don't have clock streching in transmission mode. It can
lead to premature stop sendings if the latency to write data in the
transmission register is too long. In this case, prefer the i2c-gpio
driver.
