Two small SAUCE patches to bring up the MediaTek MT8901 I²C host controller under ACPI on Ubuntu 24.04 nvidia-7.0.

gpiolib: return early in gpio_set_debounce_timeout() for zero debounce
Some GPIO controllers (MediaTek EINT among them) reject set_config(PIN_CONFIG_INPUT_DEBOUNCE, 0) with -EINVAL on edge-triggered lines. When an ACPI _CRS GpioInt/GpioIo declares DebounceTimeout=0, the error propagates through gpiod_get_index() / acpi_dev_gpio_irq_get() and blocks HID-over-I²C from acquiring its interrupt. A debounce timeout of 0 means "no debounce" — nothing to configure — so short-circuit inside gpio_set_debounce_timeout() itself. Fixes all call sites (present and future) without per-site guards.

i2c: mediatek: add ACPI/MT8901 support and firmware-managed clocks
Adds ACPI binding to the DT-only i2c-mt65xx driver so the MT8901 I²C controllers enumerate under NVDA0200:

  • New mt8901_compat (v3 register layout, default_parent_rate=124.8 MHz) and an acpi_match_table entry NVDA0200 → mt8901_compat.

  • Switch probe to device_get_match_data() and fwnode-aware device_property_read_*() so DT and ACPI share the same code path.

  • device_set_node(&adap->dev, dev_fwnode(&pdev->dev)) so i2c_acpi_register_devices() walks the child HID nodes and instantiates them.

  • Gate devm_clk_get() for main/dma on has_acpi_companion() — use devm_clk_get_optional() for the ACPI path (firmware keeps those clocks running and does not expose them via the Linux clk framework), and fall back to dev_comp->default_parent_rate in mtk_i2c_set_speed() when no clock handle is available.

DT behaviour is unchanged: both device_get_match_data() and device_property_read_*() fall through to the existing OF helpers for DT-described nodes, and the DT clock path is preserved.

…or zero debounce

Some GPIO controllers (e.g. MediaTek EINT used in pinctrl-paris) reject
set_config(PIN_CONFIG_INPUT_DEBOUNCE, 0) with -EINVAL when the underlying
interrupt is edge-triggered, even though the argument is 0 (meaning
"no debounce").

ACPI _CRS GpioInt/GpioIo resources that declare DebounceTimeout=0 caused
gpio_set_debounce_timeout() to call into that path, the chip returned
-EINVAL, and the error propagated through gpiod_get_index() and
acpi_dev_gpio_irq_get(), breaking ACPI consumers.

A debounce timeout of 0 means "no debounce" - there is nothing to
configure, so short-circuit the call inside gpio_set_debounce_timeout()
itself and return success without touching the controller. This fixes
all callers (the ACPI core call sites and any future ones) without
having to add the same guard at every call site.

…naged clocks

On MT8901-based platforms the I2C controllers are described through
ACPI (HID NVDA0200) rather than device tree. The upstream i2c-mt65xx
driver is DT-only: no acpi_match_table, no propagation of the ACPI
fwnode to the i2c_adapter device, and clock/timing properties read
through of_property_read_*() helpers that don't operate on ACPI nodes.
Compounding that, on these platforms firmware keeps the controller's
"main" and "dma" clocks running and does not expose them via the
Linux clk framework, so devm_clk_get() returns -ENOENT for both.

Consequently the driver does not bind on ACPI systems: no i2c_adapter
is created, HID-over-I2C never enumerates child devices, and the
internal I2C keyboard stays silent.

Wire up ACPI and accept firmware-managed clocks:

* Add mt8901_compat (v3 register layout, default_parent_rate=124.8 MHz
  as a stand-in for clk_get_rate() when no clock provider is exposed)
  and an acpi_match_table entry NVDA0200 -> mt8901_compat.

* Replace of_device_get_match_data() with device_get_match_data() in
  probe (with a NULL-match check), and switch mtk_i2c_parse_dt() to
  the fwnode-aware device_property_read_*() helpers so DT and ACPI
  share the same probe path.

* Call device_set_node(&adap->dev, dev_fwnode(&pdev->dev)) so the
  ACPI fwnode reaches the i2c_adapter device; without it,
  has_acpi_companion() on the adapter returns 0 and
  i2c_acpi_register_devices() exits early, leaving HID children
  unenumerated.

* Gate devm_clk_get() for "main"/"dma" on has_acpi_companion() - use
  devm_clk_get_optional() in the ACPI branch so absent clocks are
  accepted, and substitute i2c->dev_comp->default_parent_rate when
  mtk_i2c_set_speed() has no clock handle to query.

BaseOS Kernel Review

Summary

The gpiolib change leaves existing hardware debounce enabled when firmware requests zero, while the MediaTek I2C change masks malformed clock-div properties and may program incorrect bus timing.

  • What are the upstream plans for these patches?
  • What is the target platform for this? Spark?
    • Related, is there a NVbug associated with these patches?
  • This same PR needs to also be submitted against the 7.0-lts kernel (26.04_linux-nvidia)

Additionally, my review with Codex had one finding:

Medium: drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-mt65xx.c:1390 now defaults missing clock-div to 1 for both ACPI and DT. The comment says this is for ACPI, but DT still uses this same parser, and the binding requires clock-div at Documentation/devicetree/bindings/i2c/i2c-mt65xx.yaml:110. Previously a missing or bad DT clock-div failed probe; now it silently probes with different timing. I’d gate the default on has_acpi_companion(i2c->dev) and keep returning the property-read error for DT.
