[PATCH] usb: typec: ucsi_ccg: Add retry mechanism in ccg_read
From: Wayne Chang
Date: Wed Sep 09 2026 - 12:49:56 EST
CCG4 firmware occasionally fails to respond to I2C read requests,
especially when reading cci and intr_reg from the ISR path. In these
cases, i2c_transfer() returns -EREMOTEIO.
The CCG4 is EOL, and Infineon no longer supports firmware updates, so
a software workaround is necessary.
Retry the read operation up to three times (four attempts total)
when -EREMOTEIO is returned, with a 1-2 ms sleep between retries.
This allows recovery from transient I2C failures without affecting
other error paths.
The sleep is safe because ccg_read() is called both from process
context and from ccg_irq_handler(), which runs in threaded IRQ
context (registered via request_threaded_irq() with a NULL hard-IRQ
handler), so sleeping is allowed in both cases.
