The link is nice, but pointing out that this is the i2c spec would be
nice.

If the specification tells what to do, there is no need to further
support your claim.

I think I don't understand this sentence even with the typos corrected.
Do you want to say:

Currently the Davinci i2c driver interrupts the transfer on receipt of a
NACK but fails to send a STOP in some situations and so makes the bus
stuck.

Did you hit this problem, or is this a theoretical issue?

Assuming this is a candidate for stable, adding a Fixes:-footer would be
nice.

I'd drop this "more info" paragraph.

Is this Reported-by tag reused from the omap issue?

I think this is a good change, but I wonder if the handling of
I2C_M_IGNORE_NAK is correct here. If the controller reports a NACK say
for the 2nd byte of a 5-byte-message, the transfer supposed to
continue, right? (Hmm, maybe the framework handle this and restarts the
transfer with I2C_M_NOSTART but the davinci driver doesn't seem to
handle this flag?)

Best regards
