This increment of rmi_smbus causes garbage to be returned.
The first read of SMB_MAX_COUNT bytes is fine, but after that
it is nonsense. Trial-and-error showed that by dropping the
increment of rmiaddr everything is fine and the F54 function
properly works.

Even going back to the original code when F54 was added, I
could not make it work without this patch. So I do not understand
how this ever worked.

My guess is that the same change is needed in rmi_smb_write_block,
but I wouldn't know how to test this.

My guess is that F54 has mostly been tested with touchscreens that are
connected to a regular i2c bus, not smbus. i2c has a separate transport
implementation in rmi4. Most of the other functions are probably
reading much smaller block data than F54.

Lucas

That's my suspicion as well. I tried to configure my kernel so that it
would be using i2c instead of smbus, but I couldn't make it work. I'll
have to try again next week.

I only have Rev E of the RMI4 spec, which does not appear to document
the mapping table entry that rmi_smb_get_command_code() uses.

Do you (or someone else) have access to a newer version? If so, can you check
how this is supposed to work for reading large blocks over smbus?

With the current code it will create a new mapping entry for every 32
byte read. I suspect that that is not how it is supposed to work, but
without a spec this is just trial-and-error.
