You are right, thanks for the fix. This may also explains why
0317e6c (i2c: designware: do not disable adapter after transfer) caused problems
and ended up being reverted. Could you try that on your hardware?

The dynamic tar update detection was only done as preparation work to allow not
disabling the adapter, which is reverted. We may also just revert this commit
instead of fixing the logic.


thanks
