    i2c: aspeed: Add multi-master use case support · 2e57b7ce
    Jae Hyun Yoo authored
    In multi-master environment, this driver's master cannot know
    exactly when a peer master sends data to this driver's slave so
    cases can be happened that this master tries sending data through
    the master_xfer function but slave data from a peer master is still
    being processed or slave xfer is started by a peer immediately
    after it queues a master command. To support multi-master use cases
    properly, this H/W provides arbitration in physical level and it
    provides priority based command handling too to avoid conflicts in
    multi-master environment, means that if a master and a slave events
    happen at the same time, H/W will handle a higher priority event
    first and a pending event will be handled when bus comes back to
    the idle state.
    
    To support this H/W feature properly, this patch adds the 'pending'
    state of master and its handling code so that the pending master
    xfer can be continued after slave operation properly.
