2009-03-30Move the pcf8591 driver to hwmonJean Delvare1-90/+0
Directory drivers/i2c/chips is going away, so drivers there must find new homes. For the pcf8591 driver, the best choice seems to be the hwmon subsystem. While the Philips PCF8591 device isn't a typical hardware monitoring chip, its DAC interface is compatible with the hwmon one, so it fits somewhat. If a better subsystem is ever created for ADC/DAC chips, the driver could be moved there. Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org> Cc: Aurelien Jarno <aurelien@aurel32.net>

The MCP78S and MCP79 appear to be compatible with the previous nForce chips as far as the SMBus controller is concerned. The MCP67 and MCP73 were not tested yet but I'd be very surprised if they weren't compatible too.

2009-03-28i2c: Document the different ways to instantiate i2c devicesJean Delvare2-4/+182
On popular demand, here comes some documentation about how to instantiate i2c devices in the new (standard) i2c device driver binding model. I have also clarified how the class bitfield lets driver authors control which buses are probed in the auto-detect case, and warned more loudly against the abuse of this method.

2008-07-16i2c: Convert the max6875 driver to a new-style i2c driverJean Delvare1-1/+1
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>

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.

2008-07-14i2c: Add detection capability to new-style driversJean Delvare1-0/+29
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 Delvare2-9/+9

2008-07-14i2c-core: Return -Errno, not -1David Brownell1-4/+4
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.

2008-05-11i2c: Improve smbus-protocol documentationDavid Brownell1-35/+46
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 Delvare1-1/+2
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().

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 Delvare2-2/+2
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>
