i2c-amd-mp2

This is a major rework of the proposed MP2 I2C controller driver initially written by AMD for recent Ryzen-based laptops (e.g Dell Latitude 5495, Lenovo Yoga 530/Ideapad 530s, ...'s touchpad/touchscreen), which had a number of issues:

• couldn't work with more than one bus
• assumed that there's only one slave
• ignored bus speeds specified by ACPI tables
• buffer overreads/overflows when message length wasn't a multiple of 4
• allocated heap/coherent DMA buffers for every read/write
• no timeout checks, assumed the i2c device would respond in less than 50 jiffies
• no protection against data races

This rewrite fixes all of these issues and is being submitted to the kernel.

Installation

    sudo ./dkms-install.sh

⚠️ If your distribution is Ubuntu-based ⚠️, your kernel may ship with AMD's initial driver which is broken on some laptops and can't be overridden by a DKMS module, therefore before installing the driver you also need to install a kernel from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/
