[PATCH 8/8] i2c: sprd: Increase the waiting time for IIC transmission to avoid system crash issues
Posted by Huangzheng Lai 2 years, 4 months ago
Due to the relatively low priority of the isr_thread, when the CPU
load is high, the execution of sprd_i2c_isr_thread will be delayed.
After the waiting time is exceeded, the IIC driver will perform
operations such as disabling the IIC controller. Later, when
sprd_i2c_isr_thread is called by the CPU, there will be kernel panic
caused by illegal access to the IIC register. After pressure testing,
we found that increasing the IIC waiting time to 10 seconds can
avoid this problem.

Is this a fix? Then please consider adding:
