Subject: [PATCH 2/4] i2c: tegra: Disable fair arbitration for non-MCTP buses
Date: Tue, 5 May 2026 16:29:26 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260505105928.38457-3-akhilrajeev@nvidia.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260505105928.38457-1-akhilrajeev@nvidia.com>
Recent Tegra I2C controllers have a fairness arbitration register, which
allows configuring the fair idle time required to support MCTP protocol
over I2C. It is enabled by default, adding a per-transfer latency overhead
that impacts non-MCTP I2C buses.
Disable the fairness arbitration register during controller init for buses
that are not MCTP controllers.
