[PATCH v7 2/3] i2c: xiic: defer RX_FULL until all trailing bytes are in FIFO
From: Abdurrahman Hussain
Date: Thu Sep 24 2026 - 20:11:07 EST
For the normal path of xiic_smbus_block_read_setup() -- the trailing
bytes all fit in one Rx FIFO fill -- RFD was programmed two below the
byte count, which fires the RX_FULL interrupt while the last byte is
still in flight. xiic_read_rx() then lands in its bytes_rem == 1 branch
and sets NACK on a byte still on the wire, truncating the read.
Without PEC this is harmless: the truncated byte is the dummy one the
caller never looks at. With PEC enabled it is the PEC byte itself, and
i2c_smbus_check_pec() fails the transfer with -EBADMSG.
Raise the threshold by one so RX_FULL fires only once every remaining
byte is already buffered. That routes the drain through
xiic_read_rx()'s bytes_rem == 0 path, which reads everything out and
emits the stop cleanly. The only change for the non-PEC case is that
the controller waits one extra byte-time before servicing the
interrupt.
rfd_set stays inside the 4 bits of XIIC_RFD_REG_OFFSET: this branch is
only reached when rxmsg_len + pec_len <= IIC_RX_FIFO_DEPTH, so the
value is at most IIC_RX_FIFO_DEPTH - 1.
