The P2040/P2041 has an erratum where the i2c recovery scheme
documented in the reference manual (and currently implemented
in the i2c-mpc.c driver) does not work. The errata document
provides an alternative that does work. This series implements
that alternative and uses a property in the devicetree to
decide when the alternative mechanism is needed.

This now reminds me about the current I2C reset procedure, it didn't work for us and I came up with this one:
  https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-i2c/msg29490.html
it never got in but we are still using it.

For those reading along the v2 mentioned in that thread was posted as 
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-i2c/20170511122033.22471-1-joakim.tjernlund@infinera.com/ 
there was a bit of discussion but it seemed to die out without reaching 
a conclusion.

The i2c-mpc driver is now using the generic recovery mechanism so that 
addresses one bit of feedback from the original thread.

I do wonder if the reason the recovery wasn't working for your case was 
because of the erratum. Do you happen to remember which SoC your issue 
was on?

I've been doing my recent work with a P2040 and prior to that I did test 
out the recovery on a T2081 (which isn't documented to have this 
erratum) when I was re-working the driver. The "new" recovery actually 
seems better but I don't have a reliably faulty i2c device so that's 
only based on me writing some code to manually trigger the recovery 
(using the snippet below) and observing it with an oscilloscope.

It could only be P2010 or MPC8321, I think it was MPC8321, you could try my solution on your
CPU if you want to make sure.

You don't need a faulty device, just an aborted I2C read/write op.
You could force one such I2C op. by py pulling down the clock/SDA in the middle of a byte transfer.

If you can wire GPIOs to the bus, you can use the I2C fault injector:

	Documentation/i2c/gpio-fault-injection.rst

There are already two "incomplete transfer" injectors.

Just giving this thread a poke. I have been looking at my options for 
triggering an i2c recovery but haven't really had time to do much. I 
think the best option given what I've got access to is a modified SFP 
that grounds the SDA line but I need to find a system where I can attach 
an oscilloscope (should be a few of these in the office when I can get 
on-site).

I can confirm that when manually triggered the existing recovery and the 
new erratum workaround produce what I'd expect to observe on an 
oscilloscope.

I haven't explored Joakim's alternative recovery but I don't think that 
should hold up these changes, any improvement to the existing recovery 
can be done later as a follow-up.

Yes, and the generic recovery has been improved since then. There is an
"incomplete_write_byte" fault injector now and the generic recovery
handles it correctly meanwhile. Before, it actually could cause a write
to happen but we are sending STOPs now.

The series looks good to me. Usually, I don't take DTS patches. This
time I'd make an exception and apply all patches to for-current because
this is clearly a bugfix. For that, I'd need an ack from PPC
maintainers. Could I have those for patches 2+3?

Thanks! Series applied to for-current.
