From e7d5d642c089cec5592c295c5fe9c03cb0b62384 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Navon John Lukose Date: Thu, 8 Oct 2026 03:52:31 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] i2c: designware: size the RX FIFO threshold to the queued transfer i2c_dw_xfer_msg() leaves DW_IC_RX_TL at the 0 that i2c_dw_configure_mode() writes, so the controller raises RX_FULL once per received byte. Program RX_TL from the reads already queued, capped at half the FIFO until the last message is queued, so there is room for the rest. On an Arrow Lake-H LPSS core with rx_fifo_depth 32, a 22-byte HID input report costs 2.00 interrupts instead of 21.43, and a 452-byte descriptor 0.14 interrupts per byte instead of 1.64. Polling the touchpad with HIDIOCGINPUT at 142 Hz draws 1.58 W less platform power (psys, 32 paired runs).
