[PATCH v3 9/9] regulator/rpi-panel-attiny: Use two transactions for I2C read

From: Detlev Casanova
Date: Mon Jan 24 2022 - 18:09:17 EST


From: Dave Stevenson <dave.stevenson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

The I2C to the Atmel is very fussy, and locks up easily on
Pi0-3 particularly on reads.
If running at 100kHz on Pi3, reading the ID register generally
locks up the Atmel, but splitting the register select write and
read into two transactions is reliable.
