[PATCH v1 2/2] drm/xe/mcu_i2c: Take over control of the controller enabling

From: Heikki Krogerus

Date: Mon Jun 22 2026 - 07:48:25 EST


Some platforms make an assumption that the i2c controller's
enabled state indicates also the power state of the
controller. This can create a problem when the controller is
in disabled state, because the hardware may assume
incorrectly that it is then also in low-power state.

To fix this, the controller is kept enabled by taking over
the IC_ENABLE register. The controller has to be disabled
when the configuration is updated and when the target
address or the slave address are assigned, so disabling it
when IC_CON, IC_TAR or IC_SAR registers are programmed, and
then re-enabling it again.
