i2c: Restore i2c_smbus_read_block_data

2007-05-01T21:26:34+00:00

Add back the i2c_smbus_read_block_data helper function, it is needed
by the upcoming lm93 hardware monitoring driver and possibly others.

i2c: Make i2c_del_driver a void function

2007-05-01T21:26:32+00:00

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.

i2c: Move i2c-isa-only exported symbol declarations

2007-05-01T21:26:32+00:00

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.

i2c: Add i2c_new_probed_device()

2007-05-01T21:26:31+00:00

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.

i2c: Add i2c_add_numbered_adapter()

2007-05-01T21:26:31+00:00

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).

i2c: Add i2c_board_info and i2c_new_device()

2007-05-01T21:26:31+00:00

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.

i2c: i2c stack can remove()

2007-05-01T21:26:30+00:00

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.

i2c: i2c stack can probe()

2007-05-01T21:26:30+00:00

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.

i2c: Emulate SMBus block read over I2C

2007-05-01T21:26:29+00:00

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.

i2c: Rename dev_to_i2c_adapter()

2007-05-01T21:26:28+00:00

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.
