[PATCH v5 2/2] i2c: imx-lpi2c: reset controller in probe stage
From: carlos . song
Date: Tue Jun 30 2026 - 07:26:45 EST
From: Carlos Song <carlos.song@xxxxxxx>
Reset I2C controller in probe stage to avoid unexpected LPI2C controller
state left from previous stages and hang system boot.
Per the LPI2C reference manual, section 7.1.4 "Controller Control (MCR)"
and 7.1.20 Target Control (SCR), the RST bit (bit 1) description states:
"The reset takes effect immediately and remains asserted until negated
by software. There is no minimum delay required before clearing the
software reset."
Therefore, it is safe to write 0 to MCR and SCR immediately after
asserting the RST bit without any additional delay.
