If no, what indicates that message is fully=20 sent? I see that if msg_buf_remaining is already zero, the call=20 tegra_i2c_empty_rx_fifo will not do any copy of the bytes from FIFO to buf. One more point that is not clear to me is are the above suggestions you=20 made is corresponding to replacing below line in linux-next ? https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.2-rc4/source/drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-teg= ra.c#L888 Can you please also review the newly added patch "V5 6/7 "that was newly=20 posted? I think it is needed. -regards, Bitan
