[PATCH v11 0/4] AT91: replace old i2c-at91.c TWI driver

[Nicolas Ferre]

On 08/29/2012 09:28 AM, Nikolaus Voss :
> The old driver has two main deficencies:
> i)  No repeated start (Sr) condiction is possible, this makes it unusable
>     e.g. for most SMBus transfers.
> ii) I/O was done with polling/busy waiting what caused over-/underruns
>     even at light system loads and clock speeds.
> 
> The new driver overcomes these deficencies and in addition allows for
> more than one TWI interface.
> 
> A remaining limitation is the fact, that only one repeated start is
> possible (two concatenated messages). This limitation is imposed by
> the hardware. However, this should not be a problem as all common
> i2c-client communication does not rely on more than one repeated start.
> 
> Changes since v11:
> - corrected wrong id_entry on sam9261 twi gpio pdev

Despite the patch revision written in the subject, it is actually the
real v12 patch series from Nikolaus.
BTW, I suspect that you were not in copy...

In addition to the "Tested-By" tag by Ludovic, you can add my:
