[PATCH] i2c: mxs: ensure that DMA buffers are safe for DMA

From: Matthias Schiffer
Date: Mon Feb 13 2023 - 10:26:38 EST


We found that after commit 9c46929e7989
("ARM: implement THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK for uniprocessor systems"), the
PCF85063 RTC driver stopped working on i.MX28 due to regmap_bulk_read()
reading bogus data into a stack buffer. This is caused by the i2c-mxs
driver using DMA transfers even for messages without the I2C_M_DMA_SAFE
flag, and the aforementioned commit enabling vmapped stacks.

As the MXS I2C controller requires DMA for reads of >4 bytes, DMA can't be
disabled, so the issue is fixed by using i2c_get_dma_safe_msg_buf() to
create a bounce buffer when needed.

Fixes: 9c46929e7989 ("ARM: implement THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK for uniprocessor systems")
