When a signal is caught while the i2c-davinci bus driver is transferring,
the drive just "abandons" the transfer and leaves the controller to fend
for itself. The next I2C transaction will find the controller in an
undefined state and often results in a stream of "initiating i2c bus recovery"
messages until the controller arrives in a defined state. This behaviour
also sends out "half" or possibly even mixed messages to I2C client
devices which may put them in an undesired state as well.

This patch fixes this issue by always attempting to finish the current
transaction, and only abort on bus errors. This keeps the controller in a
defined state, and is also much friendlier towards client devices, because
it will only send complete messages.

Before this patch, reading an I2C device in a loop and interrupting it
often resulted in a "initiating i2c bus recovery" storm and not being
able to communicate via I2C for several seconds. With this patch, I2C
transactions will not be interrupted or otherwise halfway completed.

v2: Completely ignore signals.

Not really needed, but well yeah...

You are fixing the error path here to include the completion? This is a
seperate patch IMO.

No need for this change. We have other debug output/tracing already. But
no need to clean up either.

Is my remark true? I still prefer the seperate patch, but we may also
simply update the commit message.

Your remarks is correct. All your remarks were. Problem currently is 
that I'm not assigned to a project related to the davinci so I cannot 
spend time to fix and port it (the actual platform still runs 2.6.37).

Feel free to adap my patch or comments and commit. Or wait a few weeks 
for when I have a sponsor to split and update the patch.

OK, I'll hope you can make it for 3.17. Thanks!

I now picked the part removing the interruptible-call. The part with
the new exit-path would need to be resend and retested in case anyone
is still caring.

I think that's the right thing to do. There seems to be little interest in the 
rest of the I2C controller, and it's a tough one to test (you'd have to 
trigger an I2C error at exactly the moment that a clock frequency change is 
about to occur...).
