Hi,

This is correct.

> So the expectation is that there is no 'STOP' bit inbetween individual
> i2c_msg segments with repeated 'START'. The QUP i2c hardware has no way

> The only way to implement this is to coalesce all the i2c_msg in i2c_msgs

So, there will not be a REP_START condition on the bus? I am sorry to
say that I can't accept this. A REP_START is a REP_START and nothing
else. There are devices which will get confused if there is no real
REP_START condition.

Without knowing the HW in detail, can't you implement I2C_M_NOSTART and
let the touchscreen driver use it via regmap? That would be the proper
way (from what I understand).

Regards,

   Wolfram
