Created attachment 250908 [details] Initialize i2c_opt.addr to 0 # i2c -sv dev: /dev/iic0, addr: 0x6cfb7d5c, r/w: r, offset: 0x00, width: 8, count: 1 Hardware may not support START/STOP scanning; trying less-reliable read method. Scanning I2C devices on /dev/iic0: 11 # i2c -f /dev/iic1 -rv dev: /dev/iic1, addr: 0x1903955c, r/w: r, offset: 0x00, width: 8, count: 1 Resetting I2C controller on /dev/iic1 The address 0x6cfb7d5c or 0x1903955c is an uninitialized field in variable i2c_opt and varies from run to run. It is not actually relevant when scanning or resetting. The attached patch avoids printing the "dev:" line when verbose in scan or reset mode. The bus name is printed elsewhere and the rest of the fields are not relevant. It also initializes the address to 0 just in case it gets used somehow now or in the future.
