Commit cb97bf3d4f91 ("i2c: qcom-geni: Fix hardcoded clock index in
SE_GENI_CLK_SEL") allowed GENI to use 32MHz clock. This changed I2C
timing, making the Yoga Slim 7x keyboard (ITE 048D:8987) unusable
on all boots, and touchpad unusable on some boots, resulting in:

i2c_hid_of 1-003a: unexpected HID descriptor bcdVersion (0x0000)
i2c_hid_of 1-002c: failed to fetch HID descriptor: -110

With this change, t_high_cnt 3 and clk_div 4 gave a tSCL of 375ns
versus the previous default of 521ns, however the I2C spec has a
minimum tSCL of 600ns.

Restore tSCL to the spec with t_high_cnt 5 giving a 625ns tSCL,
verified on Lenovo Yoga Slim 7x X1E-80100.


There might be a final count which i should get and update back.
Since this fix is working though not suggested per hardware guidance,
should we consider as temporary fix and move ahead to prevent failing
usecase ?

If you can get the final values into a patch for the next -rc instead
of my fix here, that would be the minimal path for everyone. You or
the hardware team can cross-check against the I2C standard as I did
[1, p44].


Yes, Agree Dan ! That would be quick and fast way.
I am in discussion to get more details on correct configuration meeting the specs.

I would revert the original patch if there is hardware that uses the
I2C 1MHz fast-mode, since the current timings aren't to spec, but also
weren't before.

Agree, after having last change thought that would meet the spec.


Thanks,
Dan
