From: Pankaj Bansal <pankaj.ban...@nxp.com>
With latest edk2 codebase, sometimes i2c timeout is observed when
Network devices are being probed.
This is happening when gRT->GetTime request is ongoing.
gRT->GetTime triggers a read request to Real Time Clock which is
connected to I2c bus.
In between read request, if an event occurs, which also triggers
gRT->GetTime (i.e. RTC read), the I2c bus goes into unrecovered state.
This state is not even recovered, when rebooting the board.
We need to power off the board completely to recover i2c bus.
To prevent this, TPL level of I2c read is being raised to high, so that
no other event can preempt this. with this solution no timeout has been
observed so far.
