[PATCH v2 0/3] i2c: at91: slave mode support

[Juergen Fitschen <me@jue.yt>]

Based on the discussion we had on the i2c-linux list [1], I wrote a patch for
AT91 hardware and tried to fulfill the Linux I2C slave interface description
[2] as good as possible. This enables aforementioned hardware to act as an I2C
slave that can be accessed by a remote I2C master.


I have tested this patchset successfully on an ATSAMA5D27.

                        +------------------+---(SCL)-----+

    Schematic: Connection of slave and master with 100kOhm pullup resistors.

On the master the following BASH script has been used to stress the slave.

    root@emblinux:~# cat ./stress.sh
    #!/bin/bash
    I=0
    while true
    do
            if i2cset -y -r 1 0x64 0 $I w | grep mismatch
            then
                    echo "$(date): Error in transmission ${I}"
            fi
            ((I++))
            if [ $I -eq 65536 ]
            then
                    I=0
                    echo "$(date): Sent 65536 transmissions"
            fi
    done


After running the script for some time I had the following output. To me this
looks promising :)

    root@emblinux:~# ./stress.sh
    Thu Nov  9 13:58:45 CTE 2017: Sent 65536 transmissions
    Thu Nov  9 14:35:20 CTE 2017: Sent 65536 transmissions
    Thu Nov  9 15:12:11 CTE 2017: Sent 65536 transmissions
    Thu Nov  9 15:49:04 CTE 2017: Sent 65536 transmissions
    Thu Nov  9 16:26:00 CTE 2017: Sent 65536 transmissions
    Thu Nov  9 17:03:07 UTC 2017: Sent 65536 transmissions
    Thu Nov  9 17:40:15 UTC 2017: Sent 65536 transmissions

If you have some hardware with an at91-i2c interface included at hand, I really
would appreciate if you can run the test script on your hardware and test this
driver.


Best regards

Changes in v2:
 - Implemented all suggestions made by Ludovic. (Thank you!)
 - Reworked the IRQ handler completely. Have a look in patch 3 fort further
   details.
