Yes indeed. I will change that in the next iteration.

Sure, I will rebase.

Thanks for pointing that.

I can clear the error bit but further more, I probably need to simply
disable the interrupt.

In some cases, we observed i2c access failure. In that cases clearing error
bits is simply not possible.

To avoid some possible interrupt storms (the chip detect a failure, set its
interrupt line but could be not accessible anymore), the best thing to do
is to disable the interrupt line here, let the reset work to do its job
performing a full reset of the device and re-enabling the interrupt line
when needed, probably in sn65dsi83_atomic_enable().

What do you think about that?

Best regards,
Hervé
