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.
