To quote from section 1.3.1 of the data sheet:
	The SGTL5000 has an internal reset that is deasserted
	8 SYS_MCLK cycles after all power rails have been brought
	up. After this time, communication can start

	...
	1.0uS represents 8 SYS_MCLK cycles at the minimum 8.0 MHz SYS_MCLK.

Small detail: Should be us instead of uS.

FYI - If you're observing issues with communicating with SGTL5000 I2C,
please make sure also that the chip has a valid clock signal on
SYS_MCLK, otherwise it won't respond on I2C transactions (I2C will work
with any SYS_MCLK in the range 8-27MHz).

Kind regards,
Nikolay

Thanks for that, but the issue we're seeing and that made me spot this
was a very intermittent problem (1 in many 1000's of boots) reported by
a customer on our 3.10.17 code base.

We haven't been able to repeat the issue, but the failure is in the
initial read of the CHIP_ID register (i.e. the first I2C access) and
the docs clearly state that a 1us delay is needed.

I haven't found the commit that removed it, but earlier versions
of sgtl5000.c had a udelay(10) before the first I2C access.

Regards,


Eric

I see. Had similar issue with 3.10.17 (fsl), when sometimes on
hot-reset the (imx6) I2C controller was somehow locked-up on boot and
prevented the driver from reading CHIP_ID, and thus no sound at all.
But on 3.17x/3.18x mainline kernels + riotboard, this initial SGTL5000
configuration is much much better, haven't seen cases when it doesn't
detect the codec.

If you can reproduce the defect, you can try to exercise the I2C
channel and see whether it still works at all.

I'm mentioning this because it's a different root-cause that has quite
similar observable effect. Otherwise I truly agree that reset timings
as per datasheet are very good to be followed.

Kind regards,
Nikolay

Have you been reading my e-mails with the customer ;) ?

We're doing a bunch of testing, trying to force I2C accesses to
it and the other I2C device on that channel of Nitrogen6X
(the ISL1208 RTC).

Yep. and so the patch...

Applied, though given the normal speeds of I2C I'm always a bit
suspicous that something like this that's messing around with
microsecond delays is actually masking something else.
