From: "Jett.Zhou" <jtzhou@marvell.com>

According to some test in emei_dkb, we found some i2c slave device
(eg. camera sensor ov2659 power up) introduce noise on sda, so detect
i2c controller busy, and assert reset to i2c controller to recover as
early as possible to avoid more latency on the entire i2c transaction.

[vaibhav.hiremath@linaro.org: Removed reduction in timeout value, as I
do not have goot explanation for it. Logically it is not required.
And also Updated changelog]

Hmmm,

Just saw pxa27x manual, and you are right.
In that case I am not sure how to address the issue mentioned in the
changelog.

On the other side,

Check for ISR_IBB, should be ok, as, as per spec it says,

"Set when the TWSI bus is busy but the SoC TWSI is not
involved in the transaction."

Also,
I believe we should be ok, as the first thing we do in i2c_pxa_reset()
is abort the current transaction and then assert reset. Isn't it?

Any condition check you can possibly think of for asserting reset???

Having said that,
Somewhere I do agree with you that we need to further debug on noise
issue in HW rather hacking software. :)

I am ok to drop this patch, do further testing and revisit again if
issue persist.

Thanks,
Vaibhav
