Hi all,
Updated problem descriptions from Mika's feedback and new test data:
There have been "i2c_designware 80860F41:00: controller timed out" errors
on a number of Baytrail platforms. The issue is caused by incorrect value in
Interrupt Mask Register (DW_IC_INTR_MASK) when i2c core is being enabled.
This causes call to __i2c_dw_enable() to immediately start the transfer which
leads to timeout. There are 3 failure modes observed:
1. Failure in S0 to S3 resume path
The default value after reset for DW_IC_INTR_MASK is 0x8ff. When we start
the first transaction after resuming from system sleep, TX_EMPTY interrupt
is already unmasked because of the hardware default.
2. Failure in normal operational path
This failure happens rarely and is hard to reproduce. Debug trace showed that
DW_IC_INTR_MASK had value of 0x254 when failure occurred, which meant
TX_EMPTY was unmasked.
2. Failure in S3 to S0 suspend path
This failure also happens rarely and is hard to reproduce. Adding debug trace
that read DW_IC_INTR_MASK made this failure not reproducible. But from ISR
call trace we could conclude TX_EMPTY was unmasked when problem occurred.
The patch masks all interrupts before the controller is enabled to resolve the
faulty DW_IC_INTR_MASK conditions.
