2008-10-14i2c: Restore i2c_smbus_process_call functionPrakash Mortha
Restore the i2c_smbus_process_call() as one driver (for the Micronas MAP5401) will need it soon. [JD: Update documentation accordingly.] Signed-off-by: Prakash Mortha <pmortha@escient.com> Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>

2008-07-16i2c: Convert the max6875 driver to a new-style i2c driverJean Delvare
The new-style max6875 driver implements the optional detect() callback to cover the use cases of the legacy driver. I'm curious if anyone really needs this though, so it might be removed in the feature. Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>
2008-07-16i2c: Convert the pca9539 driver to a new-style i2c driverJean Delvare
The new-style pca9539 driver implements the optional detect() callback to cover the use cases of the legacy driver. Warning: users will now have to use the force module parameter to get the driver to attach to their device. That's not a bad thing as these devices can't be detected anyway. Note that this doesn't change the fact that this driver is deprecated in favor of gpio/pca953x. Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>

2008-07-14i2c: Add detection capability to new-style driversJean Delvare
Add a mechanism to let new-style i2c drivers optionally autodetect devices they would support on selected buses and ask i2c-core to instantiate them. This is a replacement for legacy i2c drivers, much cleaner. Where drivers had to implement both a legacy i2c_driver and a new-style i2c_driver so far, this mechanism makes it possible to get rid of the legacy i2c_driver and implement both enumerated and detected device support with just one (new-style) i2c_driver. Here is a quick conversion guide for these drivers, step by step: * Delete the legacy driver definition, registration and removal. Delete the attach_adapter and detach_client methods of the legacy driver. * Change the prototype of the legacy detect function from static int foo_detect(struct i2c_adapter *adapter, int address, int kind); to static int foo_detect(struct i2c_client *client, int kind, struct i2c_board_info *info); * Set the new-style driver detect callback to this new function, and set its address_data to &addr_data (addr_data is generally provided by I2C_CLIENT_INSMOD.) * Add the appropriate class to the new-style driver. This is typically the class the legacy attach_adapter method was checking for. Class checking is now mandatory (done by i2c-core.) See <linux/i2c.h> for the list of available classes. * Remove the i2c_client allocation and freeing from the detect function. A pre-allocated client is now handed to you by i2c-core, and is freed automatically. * Make the detect function fill the type field of the i2c_board_info structure it was passed as a parameter, and return 0, on success. If the detection fails, return -ENODEV. Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>
2008-07-14i2c: Delete unused function i2c_smbus_write_quickJean Delvare
Function i2c_smbus_write_quick has no users left, so we can delete it. Also update the list of these helper functions which are gone but could be added back if needed. Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>
2008-07-14i2c-core: Return -Errno, not -1David Brownell
More updates to the I2C stack's fault reporting: make the core stop returning "-1" (usually "-EPERM") for all faults. Instead, pass lower level fault code up the stack, or return some appropriate errno. This patch happens to touch almost exclusively SMBus calls.

2008-07-14i2c: Document standard fault codesDavid Brownell
Create Documentation/i2c/fault-codes to help standardize fault/error code usage in the I2C stack. It turns out that returning -1 (-EPERM) for everything was not at all helpful. Signed-off-by: David Brownell <dbrownell@users.sourceforge.net> Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>

2008-07-01i2c: Documentation: fix device matching descriptionBen Dooks

2008-05-11i2c: Improve smbus-protocol documentationDavid Brownell
Improve the smbus-protocol documentation file somewhat: - Use the names of the SMBus protocol operations (from the 2.0 specification), not made-up-for-Linux names. - Add the name of the call used to execute each operation ... and point out that there are mismatches, where functions execute different protocol operations than their names specify. The most confusing examples are that "Read Byte" isn't executed by i2c_smbus_read_byte(), and that "Write Byte" isn't executed by i2c_smbus_write_byte(). When coding, that's not as bad as it may seem; but that case would seem to be worth fixing.

2008-04-29i2c: Add support for device alias namesJean Delvare
Based on earlier work by Jon Smirl and Jochen Friedrich. This patch allows new-style i2c chip drivers to have alias names using the official kernel aliasing system and MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(). At this point, the old i2c driver binding scheme (driver_name/type) is still supported.

2008-01-27i2c-i801: Implement I2C block read supportJean Delvare
I2C block read is supported since the ICH5. I couldn't get it to work using the block buffer, so it's using the old-style byte-by-byte mode for now. Note: I'm also updating the driver author... The i2c-i801 driver was really written by Mark Studebaker, even though he based his work on the i2c-piix4 driver which was written by Philip Edelbrock.

2007-07-12i2c-i801: Use the internal 32-byte buffer on ICH4+Oleg Ryjkov
Add an ability to utilize the internal SRAM buffer on ICH4 and newer host controllers to speed up execution of block operations. I've split the code so that it is more clear which block transaction is performed. First of all the host controller's type is identified. isich4 is set when we think that the controller has the internal buffer. Then, before every block transaction, if isich4 is set, we attempt to enable the E32B bit in SMBAUXCTL register.

2007-07-12i2c: Fix the i2c_smbus_read_i2c_block_data() prototypeJean Delvare
Let the drivers specify how many bytes they want to read with i2c_smbus_read_i2c_block_data(). So far, the block count was hard-coded to I2C_SMBUS_BLOCK_MAX (32), which did not make much sense. Many driver authors complained about this before, and I believe it's about time to fix it. Right now, authors have to do technically stupid things, such as individual byte reads or full-fledged I2C messaging, to work around the problem. We do not want to encourage that. I even found that some bus drivers (e.g. i2c-amd8111) already implemented I2C block read the "right" way, that is, they didn't follow the old, broken standard. The fact that it was never noticed before just shows how little i2c_smbus_read_i2c_block_data() was used, which isn't that surprising given how broken its prototype was so far. There are some obvious compatiblity considerations: * This changes the i2c_smbus_read_i2c_block_data() prototype. Users outside the kernel tree will notice at compilation time, and will have to update their code. * User-space has access to i2c_smbus_xfer() directly using i2c-dev, so the changed expectations would affect tools such as i2cdump. In order to preserve binary compatibility, we give I2C_SMBUS_I2C_BLOCK_DATA a new numeric value, and define I2C_SMBUS_I2C_BLOCK_BROKEN with the old numeric value. When i2c-dev receives a transaction with the old value, it can convert it to the new format on the fly. Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>

2007-05-01i2c: Documentation updateJean Delvare
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>

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.

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.
