Thanks for that, but the issue we're seeing and that made me spot this
was a very intermittent problem (1 in many 1000's of boots) reported by
a customer on our 3.10.17 code base.

We haven't been able to repeat the issue, but the failure is in the
initial read of the CHIP_ID register (i.e. the first I2C access) and
the docs clearly state that a 1us delay is needed.

I haven't found the commit that removed it, but earlier versions
of sgtl5000.c had a udelay(10) before the first I2C access.

Regards,


Eric
