Subject: RE: [PATCH] i2c: aspeed: Consider i2c reset for muti-master case
Hi Andrew,
Thanks for your comments.
I want to fix the situation when our controller is set as target mode and reading / writing by other i2c host.
However, this host is stopped by any other reason (DC on/off..etc).
It will cause the controller is stuck in this situation.
But I find it might not have clear hints to identify this situation is normal or abnormal.
So, this patch should not be applied into mainstream.
BR,
By Tommy
