Dear Wolfram,

 From my particular case, as it seems not to be able to nak on the 
current byte on I2C_SLAVE_WRITE_RECEIVED event (i2c-aspeed), is it 
possible to somehow allow slave to return some errno on the 
I2C_SLAVE_WRITE_REQUESTED event so that bus driver knows what to do for 
the next incoming byte if slave is busy?

As from the docs:

===

* I2C_SLAVE_WRITE_REQUESTED (mandatory)

   'val': unused

   'ret': always 0

Another I2C master wants to write data to us. This event should be sent once
our own address and the write bit was detected. The data did not arrive 
yet, so
there is nothing to process or return. Wakeup or initialization probably 
needs
to be done, though.

===

As the "Wakeup or initialization probably needs to be done" in the slave 
side, in case slave is fail to either wake up or initialization or busy 
in this particular case, there is no way for slave to let the bus driver 
know the status if the 'ret' is always 0.

I'm also agree that it should be always ack on I2C_SLAVE_WRITE_REQUESTED 
event (when the slave address matched and the write bit detected). But 
if slave know it is fail to either wakeup or initialization or busy, the 
bus driver should be able to automatically to nak on the first write 
incoming byte.

Hence, my thinking is to change the above:

   'ret': always 0

to:

   'ret': 0 otherwise some errno if slave is busy or fail to wakeup or 
initialization

Thank you and best regards,
- Quan
