* i2c: Documentation updateJean Delvare2007-05-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Make the documentation on how to write and port i2c drivers more in line with the current state of things: * i2c-isa is deprecated and soon gone, so stop advertising it. * Drop many sensors-specific references. Most of them were outdated anyway. * Update the example code to reflect the recent and not-so-recent API and coding style preference changes. * Simplify the example init and cleanup functions. This should make things less complex to understand for newcomers. Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>
* i2c: Make i2c_del_driver a void functionJean Delvare2007-05-01
| | | | | | | | | 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>

* i2c-parport: Add support for One For All remote JP1 interfaceJonathan McDowell2007-02-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This simple patch adds support to i2c-parport for the One For All remote JP1 parallel port interfaces which can be found detailed at: http://www.hifi-remote.com/jp1/hardware.shtml These allow access to the internal configuration EEPROM on various remote controls and there are a variety of Windows tools that make use of this hardware. I have tested this patch with the "simple" parallel port device and a One For All URC-7562 and confirmed that the data read using the eeprom i2c driver matches that returned by the Windows "IR" JP1 tool.

* i2c: Add driver suspend/resume/shutdown supportDavid Brownell2007-02-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* [PATCH] I2C: i2c-piix4: Remove the fix_hstcfg parameterRudolf Marek2006-06-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch removes the fix_hstcfg option from the driver and related SMBus Interrupt Select register magic because now we know what are valid values for this register. This patch updates the documentation and adds new IRQ mode check so we are sure not to miss any new "unusual" value. The PCI quirk for users of fix_hstcfg was not developed because the chipset lacks of subsystem ID registers and DMI is stated "To be filled". Impact to existing systems is minimal because the problem showed up on motherboards like 10 years back. On the other hand users of newer Serverworks and HT1000 systems won't be misleaded by the message suggesting to try the fix_hstcfg any more.

* [PATCH] i2c-parport: Make type parameter mandatoryMark M. Hoffman2006-04-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch forces the user to specify what type of adapter is present when loading i2c-parport or i2c-parport-light. If none is specified, the driver init simply fails - instead of assuming adapter type 0. This alleviates the sometimes lengthy boot time delays which can be caused by accidentally building one of these into a kernel along with several i2c slave drivers that have lengthy probe routines (e.g. hwmon drivers).

* [PATCH] i2c: Rework client usage count, 3 of 3Jean Delvare2006-01-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

Nothing critical, but I would like a few adjustments to be merged in to fix the following problems: * VIA should not be spelled Via. * Frodo Looijaard and Philip Edelbrock did not write the i2c-viapro driver. * When debugging is disabled, half of messages would be logged. * Drop an unneeded masking. * Some port reads can be avoided now that the transaction size is passed as a parameter to vt596_transaction(). * SMBus Receive Byte transactions are used for probing too (for EEPROMs), so hide errors on these too.

* [PATCH] I2C: Centralize 24RF08 corruption preventionJean Delvare2005-09-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The 24RF08 corruption would better be prevented at i2c-core level than at chip driver level, for several reasons: * The second quick write should happen as soon as possible after the first one, so as to limit the risk that another command is issued on the bus inbetween, causing the corruption. * As a matter of fact, the protection code at driver level was reworked at least three times already, which proves how hard it is to get it right there, while it's straightforward at i2c-core level. * It's easy to add a new driver that would need the protection, and forget to add it. This did happen already. * As additional probing addresses can be passed to most i2c chip drivers as module parameters, virtually every i2c chip driver would need the protection if we want to be really safe. * Why duplicate code when we can easily avoid it?

* [PATCH] I2C: Rewrite i2c_probeJean Delvare2005-09-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | i2c_probe was quite complex and slow, so I rewrote it in a more efficient and hopefully clearer way. Note that this slightly changes the way the module parameters are handled. This shouldn't change anything for the most common cases though. For one thing, the function now respects the order of the parameters for address probing. It used to always do lower addresses first. The new approach gives the user more control. For another, ignore addresses don't overrule probe addresses anymore. This could have been restored the way it was at the cost of a few more lines of code, but I don't think it's worth it. Both lists are given as module parameters, so a user would be quite silly to specify the same addresses in both lists. The normal addresses list is the only one that isn't controlled by a module parameter, thus is the only one the user may reasonably want to remove an address from. Another significant change is the fact that i2c_probe() will no more stop when a detection function returns -ENODEV. Just because a driver found a chip it doesn't support isn't a valid reason to stop all probings for this one driver. This closes the long standing lm_sensors ticket #1807. http://www2.lm-sensors.nu/~lm78/readticket.cgi?ticket=1807 I updated the documentation accordingly. In terms of algorithmic complexity, the new code is way better. If I is the ignore address count, P the probe address count, N the normal address count and F the force address count, the old code was doing 128 * (F + I + P + N) iterations max, while the new code does F + P + ((I+1) * N) iterations max. For the most common case where F, I and P are empty, this is down from 128 * N to N. Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
