* i2c: Add a sysfs interface to instantiate devicesJean Delvare2009-06-191-0/+44
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a sysfs interface to instantiate and delete I2C devices. This is primarily a replacement of the force_* module parameters implemented by some i2c drivers. These module parameters were implemented internally by the I2C_CLIENT_INSMOD* macros, which don't scale well. This can also be used when developing a driver on a self-soldered board which doesn't yet have proper I2C device declaration at the platform level, and presumably for various debugging situations.

* i2c-ocores: Can add I2C devices to the busRichard Röjfors2009-06-131-0/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There is sometimes a need for the ocores driver to add devices to the bus when installed. i2c_register_board_info can not always be used, because the I2C devices are not known at an early state, they could for instance be connected on a I2C bus on a PCI device which has the Open Cores IP. i2c_new_device can not be used in all cases either since the resulting bus nummer might be unknown. The solution is the pass a list of I2C devices in the platform data to the Open Cores driver. This is useful for MFD drivers.

* Move the pcf8591 driver to hwmonJean Delvare2009-03-301-90/+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>

* i2c: Document the different ways to instantiate i2c devicesJean Delvare2009-03-282-4/+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.

* i2c: Add detection capability to new-style driversJean Delvare2008-07-141-0/+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>

* i2c-core: Return -Errno, not -1David Brownell2008-07-141-4/+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.

| | | | | | | | | 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.

* i2c: Improve smbus-protocol documentationDavid Brownell2008-05-111-35/+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.
