From 13101db735bdb29c5f60e95fb578690bd178b30f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stefan Eichenberger Date: Wed, 18 Feb 2026 16:08:50 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] i2c: imx: ensure no clock is generated after last read When reading from the I2DR register, right after releasing the bus by clearing MSTA and MTX, the I2C controller might still generate an additional clock cycle which can cause devices to misbehave. Ensure to only read from I2DR after the bus is not busy anymore. Because this requires polling, the read of the last byte is moved outside of the interrupt handler. An example for such a failing transfer is this: i2ctransfer -y -a 0 w1@0x00 0x02 r1 Error: Sending messages failed: Connection timed out It does not happen with every device because not all devices react to the additional clock cycle.
