[PATCH 4.17 47/67] i2c: recovery: if possible send STOP with recovery pulses

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon Jul 16 2018 - 03:38:47 EST


4.17-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Wolfram Sang <wsa+renesas@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit abe41184abac487264a4904bfcff2d5500dccce6 upstream.

I2C clients may misunderstand recovery pulses if they can't read SDA to
bail out early. In the worst case, as a write operation. To avoid that
and if we can write SDA, try to send STOP to avoid the
misinterpretation.
