Just a datapoint -- I have put a trivial debugging patch in place, and it reveals that "nobody cared" for irq 16 happens long after last I915_WRITE(GMBUS4 + reg_offset, 0); has been performed in gmbus_wait_hw_status(). On the other hand, if I comment out both GMBUS4 register offset writes in gmbus_wait_hw_status(), then it of course falls back to GPIO bit-banging, but the "nobody cared" for irq 16 is gone. So it seems like something gets severely confused by the I915_WRITE to GMBUS4 + reg_offset. So far this seems to have been reported solely on Lenovos as far as I can see (although a completely different types), so it might be some platform-specific quirk? Honestly, I still don't understand how all the GMBUS stuff relates to IRQ 16 at all. -- Jiri Kosina SUSE Labs -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
