[PATCH] i2c: mux: mlxcpld: fix i2c mux selection caching

From: Peter Rosin
Date: Sat Dec 17 2016 - 17:02:01 EST


smbus functions return -ve on error, 0 on success. However,
__i2c_transfer() have a different return signature - -ve on error, or
number of buffers transferred (which may be zero or greater.)

The upshot of this is that the sense of the text is reversed when using
the mux on a bus supporting the master_xfer method: we cache the value
and never retry if we fail to transfer any buffers, but if we succeed,
we clear the cached value

Fix this by making mlxcpld_mux_reg_write() return a -ve error code for
all failure cases, just as was done in commit 7f638c1cb0a1 ("i2c: mux:
pca954x: fix i2c mux selection caching")

This also aligns the implementations of these two muxes in this area.

Hi!

I audited the other i2c muxes for similar problems after the recent regression
report for the pca954x driver [1], and found only this.

I obviously don't have the hardware to test this patch.

Anyway, this driver is probably lower profile than the pca954x, but this
still needs fixing in my opinion...

Cheers,
peda
