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.

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.

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.

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

I2C block read is supported since the ICH5. I couldn't get it to work

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. I have tested this patch with the "simple" parallel
port device and a One For All URC-7562 and confirmed that the data read
using the eeprom i2c driver matches that returned by the Windows "IR"
JP1 tool.

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.
