Subject: [PATCH v3 0/4] i2c: designware: Improve device disable handling
Date: Mon, 04 May 2026 20:15:01 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260504-dw-i2c-v3-0-57e56135d602@wkennington.com> (raw)
When the I2C master attempts a new transaction while the slave
controller is shutting down or restarting, it can lead to bus lockups
and system bootloops if the hardware enters an inconsistent state.
This patch series addresses this by ensuring that the internal state
machines are properly cleared when disabling the controller if slave
activity is detected.
Additionally, it adds a shutdown hook that gracefully sets the slave
disable bit before disabling the controller. This guarantees that any
incoming requests from the master are immediately NACKed during
shutdown, preventing the bus from hanging.

Changes in v3:
- Split the monolithic patch into 4 logical patches
- Reverted stray formatting change in the PCI driver's dw_i2c_driver struct.
Changes in v2:
- Fix description footers
- Fix emails
