Hi Wolfram, I'm now working on creating new driver version. I think I'll be able to sent it soon.

There were some issues with interrupt latencies - sometimes slave interrupt appears in process of starting master xfer. >> +enum imx_i2c_slave_state { >> + I2C_IMX_SLAVE_IDLE, >> + I2C_IMX_SLAVE_IRQ, >> + I2C_IMX_SLAVE_POLLING > Highlevel question first: Why do you have polling? Why would anyone not > want to use interrupts here? Since imx doesn't generate interrupt on "bus stop" condition we'd had to implement polling scheme. Interrupts are used for starting polling and for waking polling loop on new slave request. Without polling we can't handle "end-of-packet" event correctly.
In current version states are:
I2C_IMX_SLAVE_IDLE // default state. slave process is waiting for interrupt I2C_IMX_SLAVE_POLLING // slave transfer is in process. I2C_IMX_MASTER // master transfer is in process.
