2007-05-01i2c: Restore i2c_smbus_read_block_dataJean Delvare
Add back the i2c_smbus_read_block_data helper function, it is needed by the upcoming lm93 hardware monitoring driver and possibly others. Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>
2007-05-01i2c: Make i2c_del_driver a void functionJean Delvare
Make i2c_del_driver a void function, like all other driver removal functions. It always returned 0 even when errors occured, and nobody ever actually checked the return value anyway. And we cannot fail a module removal anyway. Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>
2007-05-01i2c: Move i2c-isa-only exported symbol declarationsJean Delvare
Move the declaration of i2c-isa-only exported symbols to i2c-isa itself, that's the best way to ensure nobody will attempt to use them. Hopefully we'll get rid of the exports themselves soon anyway. Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>
2007-05-01i2c: Add i2c_new_probed_device()Jean Delvare
Add a new helper function to instantiate an i2c device. It is meant as a replacement for i2c_new_device() when you don't know for sure at which address your I2C/SMBus device lives. This happens frequently on TV adapters for example, you know there is a tuner chip on the bus, but depending on the exact board model and revision, it can live at different addresses. So, the new i2c_new_probed_device() function will probe the bus according to a list of addresses, and as soon as one of these addresses responds, it will call i2c_new_device() on that one address. This function will make it possible to port the old i2c drivers to the new model quickly. Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>
2007-05-01i2c: Add i2c_add_numbered_adapter()David Brownell
This adds a call, i2c_add_numbered_adapter(), registering an I2C adapter with a specific bus number and then creating I2C device nodes for any pre-declared devices on that bus. It builds on previous patches adding I2C probe() and remove() support, and that pre-declaration of devices. This completes the core support for "new style" I2C device drivers. Those follow the standard driver model for binding devices to drivers (using probe and remove methods) rather than a legacy model (where the driver tries to autoconfigure each bus, and registers devices itself).

2007-05-01i2c: Add i2c_board_info and i2c_new_device()David Brownell
This provides partial support for new-style I2C driver binding. It builds on "struct i2c_board_info" declarations that identify I2C devices on a given board. This is needed on systems with I2C devices that can't be fully probed and/or autoconfigured, such as many embedded Linux configurations where the way a given I2C device is wired may affect how it must be used. There are two models for declaring such devices: * LATE -- using a public function i2c_new_device(). This lets modules declare I2C devices found *AFTER* a given I2C adapter becomes available. For example, a PCI card could create adapters giving access to utility chips on that card, and this would be used to associate those chips with those adapters. * EARLY -- from arch_initcall() level code, using a non-exported function i2c_register_board_info(). This copies the declarations *BEFORE* such an i2c_adapter becomes available, arranging that i2c_new_device() will be called later when i2c-core registers the relevant i2c_adapter. For example, arch/.../.../board-*.c files would declare the I2C devices along with their platform data, and I2C devices would behave much like PNPACPI devices. (That is, both enumerate from board-specific tables.) To match the exported i2c_new_device(), the previously-private function i2c_unregister_device() is now exported. Pending later patches using these new APIs, this is effectively a NOP. Signed-off-by: David Brownell <dbrownell@users.sourceforge.net> Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>
2007-05-01i2c: i2c stack can remove()David Brownell
More update for new style driver support: add a remove() method, and use it in the relevant code paths. Again, nothing will use this yet since there's nothing to create devices feeding this infrastructure. Signed-off-by: David Brownell <dbrownell@users.sourceforge.net> Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>
2007-05-01i2c: i2c stack can probe()David Brownell
One of a series of I2C infrastructure updates to support enumeration using the standard Linux driver model. This patch updates probe() and associated hotplug/coldplug support, but not remove(). Nothing yet _uses_ it to create I2C devices, so those hotplug/coldplug mechanisms will be the only externally visible change. This patch will be an overall NOP since the I2C stack doesn't yet create clients/devices except as part of binding them to legacy drivers. Some code is moved earlier in the source code, helping group more of the per-device infrastructure in one place and simplifying handling per-device attributes. Terminology being adopted: "legacy drivers" create devices (i2c_client) themselves, while "new style" ones follow the driver model (the i2c_client is handed to the probe routine). It's an either/or thing; the two models don't mix, and drivers that try mixing them won't even be registered.

2007-05-01i2c: Emulate SMBus block read over I2CJean Delvare
Let the I2C bus drivers emulate the SMBus Block Read and Block Process Call transactions if they wish. This requires to define a new message flag, which i2c-core will use to let the underlying I2C bus driver know that the first received byte will specify the length of the read message. Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>
2007-05-01i2c: Rename dev_to_i2c_adapter()David Brownell
Rename dev_to_i2c_adapter() as to_i2c_adapter(), since the previous syntax was a surprising and needless difference from normal naming conventions in Linux. Signed-off-by: David Brownell <dbrownell@users.sourceforge.net> Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>
2007-05-01i2c: Shrink struct i2c_clientDavid Brownell
This shrinks the size of "struct i2c_client" by 40 bytes: - Substantially shrinks the string used to identify the chip type - The "flags" don't need to be so big - Removes some internal padding It also adds kerneldoc for that struct, explaining how "name" is really a chip type identifier; it's otherwise potentially confusing. Because the I2C_NAME_SIZE symbol was abused for both i2c_client.name and for i2c_adapter.name, this needed to affect i2c_adapter too. The adapters which used that symbol now use the more-obviously-correct idiom of taking the size of that field. JD: Shorten i2c_adapter.name from 50 to 48 bytes while we're here, to avoid wasting space in padding.

2007-05-01i2c: i2c_adapter devices need no driverJean Delvare
Kill i2c_adapter_driver as it doesn't make sense and it prevents further i2c-core cleanups. i2c_adapter devices are virtual devices (ex-class devices) and as such they don't need a driver. Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>
2007-05-01i2c: Kill i2c_adapter.class_devJean Delvare
Kill i2c_adapter.class_dev. Instead, set the class of i2c_adapter.dev to i2c_adapter_class, so that a symlink will be created for every i2c_adapter in /sys/class/i2c-adapter. The same change must be mirrored to i2c-isa as it duplicates some of the i2c-core functionalities. User-space tools and libraries might need some adjustments. In particular, libsensors from lm_sensors 2.10.3 or later is required for proper discovery of i2c adapter names after this change. Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>
2007-02-13i2c: Add driver suspend/resume/shutdown supportDavid Brownell
Driver model updates for the I2C core: - Add new suspend(), resume(), and shutdown() methods. Use them in the standard driver model style; document them. - Minor doc updates to highlight zero-initialized fields in drivers, and the driver model accessors for "clientdata". If any i2c drivers were previously using the old suspend/resume calls in "struct driver", they were getting warning messages ... and will now no longer work. Other than that, this patch changes no behaviors; and it lets I2C drivers use conventional PM and shutdown support.

2006-12-10i2c: Add support for nested i2c bus lockingJiri Kosina
This patch adds the 'level' field into the i2c_adapter structure, which is used to represent the 'logical' level of nesting for the purposes of lockdep. This field is then used in the i2c_transfer() function, to acquire the per-adapter bus_lock with correct nesting level.

2006-01-05[PATCH] i2c: Rework client usage count, 3 of 3Jean Delvare
Do not limit the usage count of i2c clients to 1. In other words, change the client usage count behavior from the old I2C_CLIENT_ALLOW_USE to the old I2C_CLIENT_ALLOW_MULTIPLE_USE. The rationale is that no driver actually needs the limiting behavior, and the unlimiting behavior is slightly easier to implement. Update the documentation to reflect this change.

Just about every i2c chip driver sets the I2C_DF_NOTIFY flag, so we can simply make it the default and drop the flag. If any driver really doesn't want to be notified when i2c adapters are added, that driver can simply omit to set .attach_adapter.

2005-10-30[PATCH] fix missing includesTim Schmielau
I recently picked up my older work to remove unnecessary #includes of sched.h, starting from a patch by Dave Jones to not include sched.h from module.h. This reduces the number of indirect includes of sched.h by ~300. Another ~400 pointless direct includes can be removed after this disentangling (patch to follow later). However, quite a few indirect includes need to be fixed up for this. In order to feed the patches through -mm with as little disturbance as possible, I've split out the fixes I accumulated up to now (complete for i386 and x86_64, more archs to follow later) and post them before the real patch. This way this large part of the patch is kept simple with only adding #includes, and all hunks are independent of each other. So if any hunk rejects or gets in the way of other patches, just drop it. My scripts will pick it up again in the next round.

2005-10-28[PATCH] i2c: SMBus PEC support rewrite, 3 of 3Jean Delvare

2005-10-28[PATCH] i2c: SMBus PEC support rewrite, 2 of 3Jean Delvare
This is my rewrite of the SMBus PEC support. The original implementation was known to have bugs (credits go to Hideki Iwamoto for reporting many of them recently), and was incomplete due to a conceptual limitation. The rewrite affects only software PEC. Hardware PEC needs very little code and is mostly untouched. Technically, both implementations differ in that the original one was emulating PEC in software by modifying the contents of an i2c_smbus_data union (changing the transaction to a different type), while the new one works one level lower, on i2c_msg structures (working on message contents). Due to the definition of the i2c_smbus_data union, not all SMBus transactions could be handled (at least not without changing the definition of this union, which would break user-space compatibility), and those which could had to be implemented individually. At the opposite, adding PEC to an i2c_msg structure can be done on any SMBus transaction with common code. Advantages of the new implementation: * It's about twice as small (from ~136 lines before to ~70 now, only counting i2c-core, including blank and comment lines). The memory used by i2c-core is down by ~640 bytes (~3.5%). * Easier to validate, less tricky code. The code being common to all transactions by design, the risk that a bug can stay uncovered is lower. * All SMBus transactions have PEC support in I2C emulation mode (providing the non-PEC transaction is also implemented). Transactions which have no emulation code right now will get PEC support for free when they finally get implemented. * Allows for code simplifications in header files and bus drivers (patch follows). Drawbacks (I guess there had to be at least one): * PEC emulation for non-PEC capable non-I2C SMBus masters was dropped. It was based on SMBus tricks and doesn't quite fit in the new design. I don't think it's really a problem, as the benefit was certainly not worth the additional complexity, but it's only fair that I at least mention it. Lastly, let's note that the new implementation does slightly affect compatibility (both in kernel and user-space), but doesn't actually break it. Some defines will be dropped, but the code can always be changed in a way that will work with both the old and the new implementations. It shouldn't be a problem as there doesn't seem to be many users of SMBus PEC to date anyway. Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

Drop I2C_SMBUS_I2C_BLOCK_MAX, use I2C_SMBUS_BLOCK_MAX instead. I2C_SMBUS_I2C_BLOCK_MAX has always been defined to the same value as I2C_SMBUS_BLOCK_MAX, and this will never change: setting it to a lower value would make no sense, setting it to a higher value would break i2c_smbus_data compatibility. There is no point in changing i2c_smbus_data to support larger block transactions in SMBus mode, as no SMBus hardware supports more than 32 byte blocks. Thus, for larger transactions, direct I2C transfers are the way to go. Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

I2C_DEVNAME and i2c_clientname were introduced in 2.5.68 [1] to help media/video driver authors who wanted their code to be compatible with both Linux 2.4 and 2.6. The cause of the incompatibility has gone since [2], so I think we can get rid of them, as they tend to make the code harder to read and longer to preprocess/compile for no more benefit. I'd hope nobody seriously attempts to keep media/video driver compatible across Linux trees anymore, BTW.

Add support for kind-forced addresses to i2c_probe, like i2c_detect has for (essentially) hardware monitoring drivers. Note that this change will slightly increase the size of the drivers using I2C_CLIENT_INSMOD, with no immediate benefit. This is a requirement if we want to merge i2c_probe and i2c_detect though, and seems a reasonable price to pay in comparison with the previous cleanups which saved much more than that (such as the i2c-isa cleanup or the i2c address ranges removal.)
