Subject: [PATCH 00/13] Add Mobileye EyeQ5 support to the Nomadik I2C
 controller & use hrtimers for timeouts

Hi,

This series adds two tangent features to the Nomadik I2C controller:

 - Add a new compatible to support Mobileye EyeQ5 which uses the same IP
   block as Nomadik.

   It has two quirks to be handled:
    - The memory bus only supports 32-bit accesses. A writeb() is used
      which we avoid.
    - We must write a value into a shared register region (OLB, "Other
      Logic Block") depending on the I2C bus speed.

 - Allow xfer timeouts below one jiffy by using a workqueue and hrtimers
   instead of a completion.

   The situation to be addressed is:
    - Many devices on the same I2C bus.
    - One xfer to each device is sent at regular interval.
    - One device gets stuck and does not answer.
    - With long timeouts, following devices won't get their message. A
      shorter timeout ensures we can still talk to the following
      devices.

   This clashes a bit with the current i2c_adapter timeout field that
   stores a jiffies amount. We cannot rely on it and therefore we take
   a value from devicetree as a µs value. If the timeout is less than a
   jiffy duration, we switch from standard jiffies timeout to
   hrtimers.

There is one patch targeting a hwmon dt-bindings file:
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/hwmon/lm75.yaml. The rest is touching
the I2C bus driver, its bindings and platform devicetrees.

About dependencies:
 - The series is based upon v6.8-rc4.
 - For testing on EyeQ5 hardware and devicetree patches, we need the
   base platform series from Grégory [0].
 - The last commit (adding DT phandles for resets), we need the syscon
   series [1] that provides the reset controller node.

I think there are discussions to be had about:

 - The handling of timeouts. Having a non-jiffy value is not driver
   specific. Should this change be done at the subsystem layer? The
   subsystem could even fetch the value from devicetree and auto-fill
   timeout, with a default given by the driver. Not many drivers seem
   to use the i2c_adapter timeout field from my quick grepping.

 - The DT prop for timeout. I've picked "timeout-usecs". Some drivers
   use vendor prefixes, but this is not vendor-specific and only a
   software implementation detail.

 - The shape of this series. Initially it was split in two. However I
   brought them together as they cannot be applied independently.
   Please tell me if a better approach is to be preferred.

Those are thoughts, I'm sure people will have feedback on this.

Have a nice day,
Théo Lebrun
