i2c-i801: Let the user disable selected driver features

2010-05-21T16:40:54+00:00

Let the user disable selected features normally supported by the
device. This makes it possible to work around possible driver or
hardware bugs if the feature in question doesn't work as intended
for whatever reason.

i2c-core: Erase pointer to clientdata on removal

2010-05-04T09:09:27+00:00

After discovering that a lot of i2c-drivers leave the pointer to their
clientdata dangling, it was decided to let the core handle this issue.
It is assumed that the core may access the private data after remove()
as there are no guarantees for the lifetime of such pointers anyhow (see
thread starting at http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/3/21/68)

i2c-parport-light: Add SMBus alert support

2010-03-02T11:23:45+00:00

Add support for the SMBus alert mechanism to the i2c-parport-light
driver. The ADM1032 evaluation board at least is properly wired for
this.

i2c: Add SMBus alert support

2010-03-02T11:23:42+00:00

SMBus alert support. The SMBus alert protocol allows several SMBus
slave devices to share a single interrupt pin on the SMBus master,
while still allowing the master to know which slave triggered the
interrupt.

This is based on preliminary work by David Brownell. The key
difference between David's implementation and mine is that his was
part of i2c-core, while mine is split into a separate, standalone
module named i2c-smbus. The i2c-smbus module is meant to include
support for all SMBus extensions to the I2C protocol in the future.

The benefit of this approach is a zero cost for I2C bus segments which
do not need SMBus alert support. Where David's implementation
increased the size of struct i2c_adapter by 7% (40 bytes on i386),
mine doesn't touch it. Where David's implementation added over 150
lines of code to i2c-core (+10%), mine doesn't touch it. The only
change that touches all the users of the i2c subsystem is a new
callback in struct i2c_driver (common to both implementations.) I seem
to remember Trent was worried about the footprint of David'd
implementation, hopefully mine addresses the issue.

i2c: Get rid of struct i2c_client_address_data

2009-12-14T20:17:25+00:00

Struct i2c_client_address_data only contains one field at this point,
which makes its usefulness questionable. Get rid of it and pass simple
address lists around instead.
