Subject: [PATCH] i2c-i801: Retry on lost arbitration
Date: Sun, 1 Nov 2009 13:25:46 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20091101132546.21ee43c2@hyperion.delvare> (raw)

The Intel 82801 is sometimes used on systems with a BMC connected. The
BMC can access the SMBus, resulting in lost arbitration for the 82801.
We should let i2c-core retry transactions for us in this case.
