Is this normal?
According to this discussion (https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/1/18/373) I think master_xfer_atomic implementation is missing in i2c-mv64xxx.c (https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-mv64xxx.c) driver.
Can you tell me which board exactly do you have and what is the hardware revision so we can test it here?
Thanks,
Lub/OLIMEX
Notice the focal releases are still experimental. If you experience problems with focal try the buster images.
Board: A20-oLinuXino-Lime, Rev. E.
Normal behavior on Bionic (http://images.olimex.com/release/a20/A20-OLinuXino-bionic-minimal-20200731-114335.img.7z) and Buster (http://images.olimex.com/release/a20/A20-OLinuXino-buster-minimal-20200731-114326.img.7z) images.
I have the same kernel warning during poweroff (but not during a reboot) with a custom bootable image (based on olimex forks of u-boot and linux) on a A20-OLinuxino-Lime2.

I found another topic (https://www.olimex.com/forum/index.php?topic=8065.0) mentionning this warning on post #14.
The warning does not seem related to loaded modules because even when there are not any loaded module mentionned in the debug, the warning appears.
Because I did not see this warning using Olimage I was wondering how it was solved.
If it can be usefull, some informations from u-boot:

I can confirm the kernel panic during poweroff, it also happens here. I've notified the developers to look into it.
The same with fresh Armbian images. Board: Olimex A20-OLinuXino-LIME2.
Old image "Armbian_21.05.1_Lime2_buster_current_5.10.34.img" works fine and does poweroff.

Fresh "Armbian_22.02.1_Lime2_bullseye_current_5.15.25.img" works fine, but has kernel panic when doing poweroff:
Quote from: undefinedNo atomic I2C transfer handler for 'i2c-1'
...
mv64xxx: I2C bus locked, block: 1, time_left: 0
Also, I created my first fresh build with https://github.com/armbian/build , "Armbian_22.08.0-trunk_Lime2_bullseye_current_5.15.57_minimal.img", and it has the same issue.
I found this [BUG] sun4i: axp209: no atomic i2c transfer handler (https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/9/20/173) but there is no solution.
WorkaroundUse older Linux kernel.
Armbian has possibility to create image with "legacy" kernel version. I used these options:
./compile.sh BOARD=lime2 BRANCH=legacy RELEASE=bullseye BUILD_MINIMAL=yes BUILD_DESKTOP=no KERNEL_ONLY=no KERNEL_CONFIGURE=prebuilt COMPRESS_OUTPUTIMAGE=sha,gpg,img
With this image, my Olimex A20-OLinuXino-LIME2 has no problem with powering off.
I get the same error message but also during runtime. From time to time the i2c blocks/locks up/doesn't reset on one of my devices out of the blue (probably the fault of a Mod-IO2 connected, which needs a power-off afterwards). If this situation occurs (it does every few days) on any attempt of i2c communication I get
EIO. The kernel messages issued are the same, so I thought it is the same issue:
[ 15.725811] i2c i2c-2: mv64xxx: I2C bus locked, block: 1, time_left: 0
[ 2705.668308] i2c i2c-2: mv64xxx: I2C bus locked, block: 1, time_left: 0

[ 3718.621965] i2c i2c-2: mv64xxx: I2C bus locked, block: 1, time_left: 0
Any plans that the atomic i2c transfer handler gets implemented?
Is there also some way to install the old kernel without creating a new image?
I could improve i2c locks at runtime for me by reducing the i2c bus speed. The overlay is part of https://opensesame.libelektra.org/ (files/i2c_2_clock_freq_overlay.dtbo see also doc/I2C.md).
