[U-Boot] [PATCH] i2c: mvtwsi: Fix delay time for Turris Omnia

Commit c68c6243 ("i2c: mvtwsi: Make delay times frequency-dependent") broke the default configuration of the Turris Omnia target.
With i2c frequency at 100kHz the twsi_wait function call to ndelay(tick) the tick variable is computed to 10340 (nanoseconds). Since ndelay calls udelay(DIV_ROUND_UP(10340, 1000), the result is udelay(11).
For some reason this sometimes (cca every third boot) breaks the i2c controller on Turris Omnia completely (even kernel cannot use it, and soft reset does not help, only complete power off).
Microcontroller watchdog cannot be disabled without i2c and the device is unusable.
The original commit message mentions erratum FE-8471889. This is weird since Linux does not enable this erratum workaround for armada-38x. But the commit message says that it was tested on Armada MV88F6820.
I therefore fix this in this unclean way only for Turris Omnia, because I do not know if it would not break other devices.

I would really like not to see such board specific code added to this driver.
Frankly, I fail to understand why used udelay(11) instead of udelay(10) should result in such a difference on your board. Could you please investigate a bit more and hopefully come up with a "better" solution for this issue?
Thanks, Stefan

Hi Stefan, I think I found what was the issue, just sent a patch series for Omnia, the last patch explains my theory and fixes the issue with one ndelay(100)

You mean tha patch series
"[U-Boot] [PATCH u-boot-marvell v2 00/15] Fixes for Turris Omnia"
So we can ignore this patch?
bye, Heiko

Yes :)
Ok, fine. I set Patchwork state for this patch to superseded
