2008-09-05i2c: fix i2c-sh_mobile timing issuesMagnus Damm
This patch teaches the i2c-sh_mobile driver to make use of wait irqs. Without this patch only dte irqs are used which may lead to overruns and cases of missing stop and extra bytes being read on the i2c bus. Use of wait irqs forces the hardware to pause and wait until the cpu is ready. Polling is also reworked in this patch to fix ms delay issues. Verified with bus analyzer and tested on MigoR and AP325RXA boards. Signed-off-by: Magnus Damm <damm@igel.co.jp> Signed-off-by: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org>
2008-08-28i2c: Prevent log spam on some DVB adaptersJean Delvare
Some DVB adapters do not support the special I2C transaction that we use for probing purposes. There's no point in logging this event, as there's nothing the user can do and in general there is no actual problem. So, degrade one of these messages to a debug message, and move the other one around so that it is only printed on bogus drivers.

2008-08-10i2c: Check for address business before creating clientsJean Delvare
We check for address business in i2c_probe_address(), i2c_detect_address() and i2c_new_probed_device(), but this isn't sufficient. Drivers can call i2c_attach_client() and i2c_new_device() on any address, so we must check the address there as well. This fixes bug #11239: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11239 Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>
2008-08-10i2c: Let users select algorithm drivers manually againJean Delvare
In kernel 2.6.26, the ability to select I2C algorithm drivers manually was removed, as all in-kernel drivers do that automatically. However there were some complaints that it was a problem for out-of-tree I2C bus drivers. In order to address these complaints, let's allow manual selection of these drivers again, but still hide them by default for better general user experience.

2008-07-28i2c: S3C2410: Pass the I2C bus number via drivers platform dataBen Dooks
Allow the platform data to specify the bus bumber that the new I2C bus will be given. This is to allow the use of the board registration mechanism to specify the new style of I2C device registration which allows boards to provide a list of attached devices. Note, as discussed on the mailing list, we have dropped backwards compatibility of adding an dynamic bus number as it should not affect most boards to have the bus pinned to 0 if they have either not specified platform data for driver. Any board supplying platform data will automatically have the bus_num field set to 0, and anyone who needs the driver on a different bus number can supply platform data to set bus_num.

2008-07-25gpiolib: allow user-selectionMichael Buesch
This patch adds functionality to the gpio-lib subsystem to make it possible to enable the gpio-lib code even if the architecture code didn't request to get it built in. The archtitecture code does still need to implement the gpiolib accessor functions in its asm/gpio.h file. This patch adds the implementations for x86 and PPC. With these changes it is possible to run generic GPIO expansion cards on every architecture that implements the trivial wrapper functions. Support for more architectures can easily be added.

2008-07-25gpio: sysfs interfaceDavid Brownell
This adds a simple sysfs interface for GPIOs. /sys/class/gpio /export ... asks the kernel to export a GPIO to userspace /unexport ... to return a GPIO to the kernel /gpioN ... for each exported GPIO #N /value ... always readable, writes fail for input GPIOs /direction ... r/w as: in, out (default low); write high, low /gpiochipN ... for each gpiochip; #N is its first GPIO /base ... (r/o) same as N /label ... (r/o) descriptive, not necessarily unique /ngpio ... (r/o) number of GPIOs; numbered N .. N+(ngpio - 1) GPIOs claimed by kernel code may be exported by its owner using a new gpio_export() call, which should be most useful for driver debugging. Such exports may optionally be done without a "direction" attribute. Userspace may ask to take over a GPIO by writing to a sysfs control file, helping to cope with incomplete board support or other "one-off" requirements that don't merit full kernel support: echo 23 > /sys/class/gpio/export ... will gpio_request(23, "sysfs") and gpio_export(23); use /sys/class/gpio/gpio-23/direction to (re)configure it, when that GPIO can be used as both input and output. echo 23 > /sys/class/gpio/unexport ... will gpio_free(23), when it was exported as above The extra D-space footprint is a few hundred bytes, except for the sysfs resources associated with each exported GPIO. The additional I-space footprint is about two thirds of the current size of gpiolib (!). Since no /dev node creation is involved, no "udev" support is needed. Related changes: * This adds a device pointer to "struct gpio_chip". When GPIO providers initialize that, sysfs gpio class devices become children of that device instead of being "virtual" devices. * The (few) gpio_chip providers which have such a device node have been updated. * Some gpio_chip drivers also needed to update their module "owner" field ... for which missing kerneldoc was added. * Some gpio_chips don't support input GPIOs. Those GPIOs are now flagged appropriately when the chip is registered. Based on previous patches, and discussion both on and off LKML. A Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-gpio update is ready to submit once this merges to mainline.

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: Call client_unregister for new-style devices tooJean Delvare
We call adapter->client_register for both legacy and new-style i2c devices, however we only call adapter->client_unregister for legacy drivers. This doesn't make much sense. Usually, drivers will undo in client_unregister what they did in client_register, so we should call neither or both for every given i2c device. In order to ease the transition from legacy to new-style devices, it seems preferable to actually call both. Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org> Cc: David Brownell <david-b@pacbell.net>

2008-07-14i2c-sibyte: SWARM I2C board initializationMaciej W. Rozycki
The standard rtc-m41t80.c driver cannot be used with the SWARM as it is, because the board does not provide setup information for the I2C core. As a result the bus and the address to probe for the M41T80 chip is not known. Here is a set of changes that fix the problem: 1. swarm-i2c.c -- SWARM I2C board setup, currently for the M41T80 chip on the bus #1 only (there is a MAX6654 temperature sensor on the bus #0 which may be added in the future if we have a driver for that chip). 2. The i2c-sibyte.c BCM1250A SMBus controller driver now registers its buses as numbered so that board setup is correctly applied. Signed-off-by: Maciej W.

2008-07-14i2c-i801: Fix handling of error conditionsJean Delvare
Move the check of pre-transaction and post-transaction conditions to separate functions, and adjust them a bit. Having dedicated functions for that ensures that errors are handled in a consistent way. Bit HOST_BUSY of the status register is read-only, so writing to it is certainly not going to clear it. If this bit is set then we simply don't want to start the transaction, as it means that somebody else (ACPI, SMM?) is already using the controller. Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>
