Subject: [PATCH] staging: media: av7110: fix sp8870 initialization and hardware communication
Date: Fri, 7 Aug 2026 21:31:49 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260807160149.41580-1-punnaysharma805@gmail.com> (raw)
Address multiple correctness issues in the sp8870 demodulator:
- Fix BER reporting in sp8870_read_ber() by correctly ORing the upper bits.
- Set state->initialised only after successful firmware upload in sp8870_init() to allow recovery from transient I2C failures.
- Catch partial I2C transfers (err == 0) in sp8870_firmware_upload() and return -EREMOTEIO to prevent silent firmware corruption.
