+Subject: i2c: imx: preserve error state in block data length handler
+
+From: LI Qingwu <Qing-wu.Li@leica-geosystems.com.cn>
+
+commit b126097b0327437048bd045a0e4d273dea2910dd upstream.
+
+When a block read returns an invalid length, zero or >I2C_SMBUS_BLOCK_MAX,
+the length handler sets the state to IMX_I2C_STATE_FAILED. However,
+i2c_imx_master_isr() unconditionally overwrites this with
+IMX_I2C_STATE_READ_CONTINUE, causing an endless read loop that overruns
+buffers and crashes the system.
+
+Guard the state transition to preserve error states set by the length
+handler.
+
+Fixes: 5f5c2d4579ca ("i2c: imx: prevent rescheduling in non dma mode")
