Hi all, I've developed an RTC driver that uses i2c core and for a PPC405-based board (PPChameleonEVB). The i2c-Algorithm driver is the i2c-algo-ibm_ocp.c and the i2c-adapter is the i2c-adap-ibm_ocp.c The problem is in timer_interrupt() function (/arch/ppc/kernel/time.c) with CONFIG_RTC_11_MINUTE_MODE enabled. Into this function there is a call to a ppc_md.set_rtc_time that is a pointer to a my set_rtc_device function that in turn calls the i2c_master_send(). The problem is that kernel crashes (kenrel panic) when ppc_md.set_rtc_time is called. Debugging the coed, I've seen that kernel crashes into iic_sendbytes() function (i2c-algo-ibm_opc.c) .
After debugging inside of iic_sendbytes() function I asked to me: As in the time_interrupt() function, interrupt are disabled, i2c-algo-ibm_ocp.c cannot work properly. This would mean that a kernel that use i2c-algo-ibm_ocp.c and a i2c RTC-driver cannot work properly with CONFIG_RTC_11_MINUTE_MODE!!! Is this correct? If yes, how can I solve my problem?
