I tried applying the block support for mv64xx as well:
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/linux-i2c/patch/20200118115820.9080-1-fuga@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/

That patch would be needed, but it looks buggy to me. This chunk:

+ drv_data->effective_length = data+1;
+ drv_data->bytes_left = data+1;
+ drv_data->msg->len = data+1;

should be:

+ drv_data->effective_length = data+1;
+ drv_data->bytes_left = data;
+ drv_data->msg->len = data+1;

It should also make sure that 'data' is not larger than I2C_SMBUS_BLOCK_MAX,
and bail out if it isn't.

Yeah, I did not check the contents, I just saw 2 reviews and tested it
since it can't hurt.

That patch doesn't work at all. Make the above change, and also change
the type of effective_length from u32 to int, and try again.

I was just looking and it, and doing the changes you recommended make
no difference at all.


Is the i2c controller compatible with marvell,mv78230-i2c ?
The block transfers would not work in that case. Let me know
and I'll send you a patch that might fix it.
