[PATCH v2] i2c: qcom-cci: always enable SCL clock stretching
From: Hitesh Patel
Date: Mon Sep 21 2026 - 09:33:34 EST
Every CCI timing table except the msm8953 fast-plus one leaves SCL
clock stretching disabled in MISC_CTL. A slave that holds SCL low is
then not waited for: the master keeps its own clock timing and the
transfer fails with a NACK or returns corrupt data.
This is hit with a camera reached through a GMSL serializer/
deserializer I2C tunnel (MAX9296A/MAX96717 on the RB3 Gen2 vision
mezzanine, SC7280 CCI v2 at 100 kHz). The deserializer acknowledges
the address locally, forwards the transaction over the coax link and
stretches SCL until the remote side has completed it, which takes well
over one clock period. Without stretching the register reads of the
sensor behind the link intermittently return garbage and writes are
dropped, which shows up as random sensor init failures.
Clock stretching is part of the I2C specification for every speed
mode and a device that does not stretch is unaffected by it, so there
is no reason to make it a per-table parameter. Set the bit
unconditionally and drop the scl_stretch_en field.
