i2c-tool warnings

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if the warning that I get from i2cset/i2cget(WARNING! This program can confuse your I2C bus, cause data loss and worse!) are real and I should be worried about it, or I can use those as much as I want in my scripts/program?

On my board, I have one I2C bus, which has 3 devices. One device, an audio codec, as a driver tat use that I2C port. The other's devices are access by a userspace program.

Do you see a problem where the driver could lock the bus?

Do you know if the I2C bus are protected so my userspace programm cant access the bus at the same time as the driver?

Best regards,
Jerome
