By default the PMIC DA9063 2-wire interface is SMBus compliant. This means the PMIC will automatically reset the interface when the clock signal ceases for more than the SMBus timeout of 35 ms. If the I2C driver / device is not capable of creating atomic I2C transactions, a context change can cause a ceasing of the clock signal. This can happen if for example a real-time thread is scheduled. Then the DA9063 in SMBus mode will reset the 2-wire interface. Subsequently a write message could end up in the wrong register. This could cause unpredictable system behavior. The DA9063 PMIC also supports an I2C compliant mode for the 2-wire interface. This mode does not reset the interface when the clock signal ceases. Thus the problem depicted above does not occur. This patch tests for the bus functionality "I2C_FUNC_I2C". It can reasonably be assumed that the bus cannot obey SMBus timings if this functionality is set. SMBus commands most probably are emulated in this case which is prone to the latency issue described above. This patch enables the I2C bus mode if I2C_FUNC_I2C is set or otherwise keeps the default SMBus mode.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
