Currently, when first failure occurs while reading of the block, we stop reading the block and jump to the next capability. This doesn't cover the case of block with "holes" of inaccessible dwords, followed by accessible dwords. This patch address this problem. In case of failure while reading the complete block in one transaction, (because of one or more dwords is inaccessible), we read the remaining dwords of the block dword-by-dword, one dword per transaction, till the end of the block. By doing this, we handle the case of block with "holes" of inaccessible dwords, followed by accessible dwords. The accessible dwords are shown with the fields: <offset> <relative_offset> <cap_id> <vs_cap_id> <value> E.g.: 0x01eb 236 0x05 0x06 0x0000d166 While the inaccesible dwords are shown as: <offset> <not accessible> E.g.: 0x01ed <not accessible> Signed-off-by: Gil Fine <gil.fine@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Mika Westerberg <mika.westerberg@linux.intel.com>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
