Weird... it sounds that, after si2168 has its firmware updated, it
starts interfering at si2157. Perhaps there's a bug at si2168 I2C
gate mux logic. Are you using a new Kernel like 5.2?

I guess the best is to enable the debug logs in order to see what's
happening on both cases.

You can enable all debug messages (after loading the modules) with:

	# for i in $(cat /sys/kernel/debug/dynamic_debug/control |grep -E '(si21|af9035)' |cut -d' ' -f 1); do echo "file $i +p" >>/sys/kernel/debug/dynamic_debug/control; done

You could also try to disable the firmware upload at si2168 and see
if the si2157 reads will succeed.


Thanks,
