Subject: [PATCH] i2c: davinci: Optimize SCL generation
Date: Thu, 11 Jun 2015 11:35:26 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <5579565E.1020908@nokia.com> (raw)

There are several cases where current clock configuration algorithm produces
not optimal results:
- truncation in "clk" calculation leads to the fact that actual BUS frequency
  will be always higher than spec except two exact module frequences 8MHz and
  12MHz in the whole 7-12MHz range of permitted frequences
- driver configures SCL HIGH to LOW ratio always 1 to 1 and this doesn't work
  well in 400kHz case, namely minimum time of LOW state (according to I2C Spec
  2.1) 1.3us will not be fulfilled. HIGH to LOW ratio 1 to 2 would be more
  approriate here.

Tested on custom Keystone II SoC-based board with complicated I2C network
working on the edge of its HW specs (signal quality). In this case 1 to 2
HIGH to LOW relation really improves the reliability with 400kHz bus rate.
