Not necessarily. The codes I've included in the patch. "something wrong" isn't well defined.

And we do. We do handle properly. Perhaps the best way to handle it is to *send another command* to the SMU as a follow-up, and so on.

Sure, sure. And the client should know this dependency, and should check the result, and should know whether to continue to send more commands or do something else. Either way, you cannot block access to the SMU, when other clients can use it. We've seen plenty of logs where gfxoff was unsuccessful because of this bug.

Here's the gist of it: smu_cmn.c CANNOT BLOCK access to the SMU just because one client doesn't check results and doesn't know how to handle them correctly. smu_cmn.c just facilitates access to the SMU when possible (SMU is not busy).

If there's an error, the client takes that error and decides what to do next, but smu_cmn.c CANNOT block access to the SMU.

Then that is a different change, and a different patch.

Note however that STILL you cannot block access to the SMU, for instance gfxoff, or RAS may want to write some bad pages to the EEPROM. Nope! You cannot block access to the SMU.

Well, it seems you're writing a debug behaviour into the driver out in the field.

We cannot assume that for I2C response is always 1--what if there is no such I2C device on that bus? Upper layers need to know that.
