commit 90024a5951029685acc5396258f1b0de9b23cf4a upstream. The ACK/NACK implementation as found in e.g. the G965 has the falling clock edge and the release of the data line after the ACK for the received byte happen at the same time. This is conformant with the I2C specification, which allows a zero hold time, see footnote [3]: "A device must internally provide a hold time of at least 300 ns for the SDA signal (with respect to the V IH(min) of the SCL signal) to bridge the undefined region of the falling edge of SCL." Some HDMI-to-VGA converters apparently fail to adhere to this requirement and latch SDA at the falling clock edge, so instead of an ACK sometimes a NACK is read and the slave (i.e. the EDID ROM) ends the transfer. The bitbanging releases the data line for the ACK only 1/4 bit time after the falling clock edge, so a slave will see the correct value no matter if it samples at the rising or the falling clock edge or in the center. Fallback to bitbanging is already done for the CRT connector.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
