Hi,
while writing a driver for a cardbus card which is supposed to use the
bit-banging algorithm I noticed that communication with the I2C slave
(Philips TDA10046) would fail without this patch. It forces SDA to high
for every bit in i2c_inb() instead of once per byte. Can this patch go
into the mainline kernel or will this break other drivers? I am using
Kernel version 2.6.10.

There is no reason why this would be necessary. Once SDA is set high on
the master's side, the client will be controlling it for the rest of the
byte (transferred from client to master). Setting SDA high again on the
master's side for each bit shouldn't have any effet, let alone the
substantial slowdown. If it changes something for you, then either your
implementation of setscl or getsda is broken and does actually change
SDA as a side effect, or what really helps is the additional delay, not
setting SDA high per se. In the former case, check your code. If you
can't figure out what's wrong, post it here and I'll take at look.
What's your bus master BTW? In the latter case, you might simply need to
lower the bus speed (increase udelay).
Thanks,

Increasing udelay from 10us to 100us, 1ms, 10ms or 100ms did not help.
Here's my I2C code:
#define REG_SLCS 0x003c
#define SLCS_SCL (0x0001 << 7)
#define SLCS_SDA (0x0001 << 6)
static inline u32 pluto_readreg(struct pluto *pluto, u32 reg)
{
return readl(&pluto->io_mem[reg]);
}
static inline void pluto_writereg(struct pluto *pluto, u32 reg, u32 val)
{
writel(val, &pluto->io_mem[reg]);
}
static inline void pluto_rw(struct pluto *pluto, u32 reg, u32 mask, u32
bits)
{
u32 val = pluto_readreg(pluto, reg);
val &= ~mask;
val |= bits;
pluto_writereg(pluto, reg, val);
}
static void pluto_setsda(void *data, int state)
{
struct pluto *pluto = data;
if (state)
pluto_rw(pluto, REG_SLCS, SLCS_SDA, SLCS_SDA);
else
pluto_rw(pluto, REG_SLCS, SLCS_SDA, 0);
}
static void pluto_setscl(void *data, int state)
{
struct pluto *pluto = data;
if (state)
pluto_rw(pluto, REG_SLCS, SLCS_SCL, SLCS_SCL);
else
pluto_rw(pluto, REG_SLCS, SLCS_SCL, 0);
}
static int pluto_getsda(void *data)
{
struct pluto *pluto = data;
return pluto_readreg(pluto, REG_SLCS) & SLCS_SDA;
}
static int pluto_getscl(void *data)
{
struct pluto *pluto = data;
return pluto_readreg(pluto, REG_SLCS) & SLCS_SCL;
}
in the pci probe function:
i2c_set_adapdata(&pluto->i2c_adap, pluto);
strcpy(pluto->i2c_adap.name, DRIVER_NAME);
pluto->i2c_adap.owner = THIS_MODULE;
pluto->i2c_adap.id = I2C_ALGO_BIT;
pluto->i2c_adap.class = I2C_CLASS_TV_DIGITAL;
pluto->i2c_adap.dev.parent = &pdev->dev;
pluto->i2c_adap.algo_data = &pluto->i2c_bit;
pluto->i2c_bit.data = pluto;
pluto->i2c_bit.setsda = pluto_setsda;
pluto->i2c_bit.setscl = pluto_setscl;
pluto->i2c_bit.getsda = pluto_getsda;
pluto->i2c_bit.getscl = pluto_getscl;
pluto->i2c_bit.udelay = 10;
pluto->i2c_bit.timeout = 10;
/* Raise SCL and SDA */
pluto_setsda(pluto, 1);
pluto_setscl(pluto, 1);
ret = i2c_bit_add_bus(&pluto->i2c_adap);
The bus master is a so called Pluto2 by SCM (part of a DVB-T card sold
by Satelco). If this is a hardware bug, is it possible to add a flag to
struct i2c_algo_bit_data to workaround this bug?

I would try to find out whether the culprit is setscl or getsda
(assuming I am correct and either of these actually is the problem).
Once you know which it is, you could modifiy that function to restore
the SDA line, that should do the trick.
Hope that helps,

Thank you, using the workaround below makes it possible to use the
bitbanging code without modifications. It tries to detect i2c_inb() and
resets SDA to high after SCL has been set to high and then to low.
static void pluto_setscl(void *data, int state)
{
struct pluto *pluto = data;
if (state)
pluto_rw(pluto, REG_SLCS, SLCS_SCL, SLCS_SCL);
else
pluto_rw(pluto, REG_SLCS, SLCS_SCL, 0);
if ((state) && (pluto->i2cbug == 0)) {
pluto->i2cbug = 1;
} else {
if ((!state) && (pluto->i2cbug == 1))
pluto_setsda(pluto, 1);
pluto->i2cbug = 0;
}
}

Andreas
