Subject: Re: [PATCH v7 0/5] AT91: replace broken TWI driver i2c-at91.c

Hi,

I've tested this driver on a 2.6.38 kernel with several i2c clients
(temp-sensor, audio-codec, touchscreen-controller, w1-bridge,
io-expanders) and works without problems. SoC: at91sam9g45

Because of the 2.6.38 kernel, I had to skip "[PATCH v7 2/5] Replace
clk_lookup.con_id with clk_lookup.dev_id entries for twi clk" and used
instead: at91_clock_associate("twi0_clk", &at91sam9g45_twi0_device.dev,
"twi_clk");

Best Regards
Hubert
