Subject: [PATCH] i2c: k1: check for transfer error
Date: Thu, 12 Jun 2025 17:56:25 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250612225627.1106735-1-elder@riscstar.com> (raw)
If spacemit_i2c_xfer_msg() times out waiting for a message transfer to
complete, or if the hardware reports an error, it returns a negative
error code (-ETIMEDOUT, -EAGAIN, -ENXIO. or -EIO).
The sole caller of spacemit_i2c_xfer_msg() is spacemit_i2c_xfer(),
which is the i2c_algorithm->xfer callback function. It currently
does not save the value returned by spacemit_i2c_xfer_msg().
The result is that transfer errors go unreported, and a caller
has no indication anything is wrong.
When this code was out for review, the return value *was* checked
in early versions. But for some reason, that assignment got dropped
between versions 5 and 6 of the series, perhaps related to reworking
the code to merge spacemit_i2c_xfer_core() into spacemit_i2c_xfer().
Simply assigning the value returned to "ret" fixes the problem.
