i2c: bcm2835: Fix hang for writing messages larger than 16 bytes commit e2474541032db65d02bf88b6a8c2f954654b443f upstream. Writing messages larger than the FIFO size results in a hang, rendering the machine unusable. This is because the RXD status flag is set on the first interrupt which results in bcm2835_drain_rxfifo() stealing bytes from the buffer. The controller continues to trigger interrupts waiting for the missing bytes, but bcm2835_fill_txfifo() has none to give. In this situation wait_for_completion_timeout() apparently is unable to stop the madness. The BCM2835 ARM Peripherals datasheet has this to say about the flags: TXD: is set when the FIFO has space for at least one byte of data. RXD: is set when the FIFO contains at least one byte of data. TXW: is set during a write transfer and the FIFO is less than full. RXR: is set during a read transfer and the FIFO is or more full. Implementing the logic from the downstream i2c-bcm2708 driver solved the hang problem.
