Linux kernel modifications for the Kernel Hacking exam
5d69d5a00f
It was observed that issuing the ABORT bit (IC_ENABLE[1]) will not
work when IC_ENABLE is already disabled.
Check if the ENABLE bit (IC_ENABLE[0]) is disabled when the controller
is holding SCL low. If the ENABLE bit is disabled, the software needs
to enable it before trying to issue the ABORT bit. otherwise,
the controller ignores any write to ABORT bit.
These kernel logs show up whenever an I2C transaction is
attempted after this failure.
i2c_designware e95e0000.i2c: timeout waiting for bus ready
i2c_designware e95e0000.i2c: timeout in disabling adapter
The patch fixes the issue where the controller cannot be disabled
while SCL is held low if the ENABLE bit is already disabled.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
