[PATCH 11/13] HID: ft260: i2c: fix large write transaction failure
From: Michael Zaidman
Date: Sat Aug 22 2026 - 17:46:10 EST
Fixes a regression from commit 5afac727defa ("HID: ft260: missed NACK
from busy device"), which waited for bus-idle after every HID write
report except when the report flag was exactly FT260_FLAG_START.
Multi-report I2C writes keep the bus busy between chunks for atomicity.
Treating those middle reports like a final STOP caused ft260_xfer_status()
to spin on -EAGAIN after the second HID report and fail large writes.
Write-then-read combined transfers still worked.
Pass the bus-busy check policy from the caller: ft260_i2c_write() and
ft260_smbus_write() wait for idle only when the report they send carries
STOP; intermediate chunks and the command phase of a combined transfer
do not.
The SMBus side matters for register reads. The command phase is written
with FT260_FLAG_START and no STOP, because a repeated START read follows
and the controller deliberately keeps the bus busy to keep the
transaction atomic. Checking the busy bit there makes
ft260_xfer_status() return -EAGAIN on every retry and the command write
fail with -EIO, which breaks probing of clients that read registers:
ads1x19 6-0040: Failed to read config register: -5
leds-pca963x: probe of 6-0008 failed with error -5
