-WARNING: If you have an '810' or '815' motherboard, your standard I2C
-temperature sensors are most likely on the 801's I2C bus. You want the
-i2c-i801 driver for those, not this driver.
-
-Now for the i2c-i810...
-
-The GMCH chip contains two I2C interfaces.
-
-The first interface is used for DDC (Data Display Channel) which is a
-serial channel through the VGA monitor connector to a DDC-compliant
-monitor. This interface is defined by the Video Electronics Standards
-Association (VESA). The standards are available for purchase at
-http://www.vesa.org .
-
-The second interface is a general-purpose I2C bus. It may be connected to a
-TV-out chip such as the BT869 or possibly to a digital flat-panel display.
-
-Features
---------
-
-Both busses use the i2c-algo-bit driver for 'bit banging'
-and support for specific transactions is provided by i2c-algo-bit.
-
-Issues
-------
-
-If you enable bus testing in i2c-algo-bit (insmod i2c-algo-bit bit_test=1),
-the test may fail; if so, the i2c-i810 driver won't be inserted. However,
-we think this has been fixed.

-Description
------------
-
-The Savage4 chips contain two I2C interfaces (aka a I2C 'master'
-or 'host').
-
-The first interface is used for DDC (Data Display Channel) which is a
-serial channel through the VGA monitor connector to a DDC-compliant
-monitor. This interface is defined by the Video Electronics Standards
-Association (VESA). The standards are available for purchase at
-http://www.vesa.org . The DDC bus is not yet supported because its register
-is not directly memory-mapped.
-
-The second interface is a general-purpose I2C bus. This is the only
-interface supported by the driver at the moment.

-The code is based upon Ralph's test code (he did the hard stuff ;')
-
-Description
------------
-
-The 3dfx Voodoo3 chip contains two I2C interfaces (aka a I2C 'master' or
-'host').
-
-The first interface is used for DDC (Data Display Channel) which is a
-serial channel through the VGA monitor connector to a DDC-compliant
-monitor. This interface is defined by the Video Electronics Standards
-Association (VESA). The standards are available for purchase at
-http://www.vesa.org .
-
-The second interface is a general-purpose I2C bus. The intent by 3dfx was
-to allow manufacturers to add extra chips to the video card such as a
-TV-out chip such as the BT869 or possibly even I2C based temperature
-sensors like the ADM1021 or LM75.
-
-Stability
----------
-
-Seems to be stable on the test machine, but needs more testing on other
-machines. Simultaneous accesses of the DDC and I2C busses may cause errors.
-
-Supported Devices
------------------
-
-Specifically, this driver was written and tested on the '3dfx Voodoo3 AGP
-3000' which has a tv-out feature (s-video or composite). According to the
-docs and discussions, this code should work for any Voodoo3 based cards as
-well as Voodoo Banshee based cards. The DDC interface has been tested on a
-Voodoo Banshee card.
-
-Issues
-------
-
-Probably many, but it seems to work OK on my system. :')
-
-
-External Device Connection
---------------------------
-
-The digital video input jumpers give availability to the I2C bus.
-Specifically, pins 13 and 25 (bottom row middle, and bottom right-end) are
-the I2C clock and I2C data lines, respectively. +5V and GND are probably
-also easily available making the addition of extra I2C/SMBus devices easy
-to implement.

-Description
------------
-
-This is a simple EEPROM module meant to enable reading the first 256 bytes
-of an EEPROM (on a SDRAM DIMM for example). However, it will access serial
-EEPROMs on any I2C adapter. The supported devices are generically called
-24Cxx, and are listed above; however the numbering for these
-industry-standard devices may vary by manufacturer.
-
-This module was a programming exercise to get used to the new project
-organization laid out by Frodo, but it should be at least completely
-effective for decoding the contents of EEPROMs on DIMMs.
-
-DIMMS will typically contain a 24C01A or 24C02, or the 34C02 variants.
-The other devices will not be found on a DIMM because they respond to more
-than one address.
-
-DDC Monitors may contain any device. Often a 24C01, which responds to all 8
-addresses, is found.
-
-Recent Sony Vaio laptops have an EEPROM at 0x57. We couldn't get the
-specification, so it is guess work and far from being complete.
-
-The Microchip 24AA52/24LCS52, ST M34C02, and others support an additional
-software write protect register at 0x30 - 0x37 (0x20 less than the memory
-location). The chip responds to "write quick" detection at this address but
-does not respond to byte reads. If this register is present, the lower 128
-bytes of the memory array are not write protected. Any byte data write to
-this address will write protect the memory array permanently, and the
-device will no longer respond at the 0x30-37 address. The eeprom driver
-does not support this register.
-
-Lacking functionality:
-
-* Full support for larger devices (24C04, 24C08, 24C16). These are not
-typically found on a PC. These devices will appear as separate devices at
-multiple addresses.
-
-* Support for really large devices (24C32, 24C64, 24C128, 24C256, 24C512).
-These devices require two-byte address fields and are not supported.
-
-* Enable Writing. Again, no technical reason why not, but making it easy
-to change the contents of the EEPROMs (on DIMMs anyway) also makes it easy
-to disable the DIMMs (potentially preventing the computer from booting)
-until the values are restored somehow.
-
-Use:
-
-After inserting the module (and any other required SMBus/i2c modules), you
-should have some EEPROM directories in /sys/bus/i2c/devices/* of names such
-as "0-0050". Inside each of these is a series of files, the eeprom file
-contains the binary data from EEPROM.

-Kernel driver max6875
-=====================
-
-Supported chips:
- * Maxim MAX6874, MAX6875
- Prefix: 'max6875'
- Addresses scanned: None (see below)
- Datasheet:

-
-Author: Ben Gardner <bgardner@wabtec.com>
-
-
-Description
------------
-
-The Maxim MAX6875 is an EEPROM-programmable power-supply sequencer/supervisor.
-It provides timed outputs that can be used as a watchdog, if properly wired.
-It also provides 512 bytes of user EEPROM.
-
-At reset, the MAX6875 reads the configuration EEPROM into its configuration
-registers. The chip then begins to operate according to the values in the
-registers.
-
-The Maxim MAX6874 is a similar, mostly compatible device, with more intputs
-and outputs:
- vin gpi vout
-MAX6874 6 4 8
-MAX6875 4 3 5
-
-See the datasheet for more information.
-
-
-Sysfs entries
--------------
-
-eeprom - 512 bytes of user-defined EEPROM space.
-
-
-General Remarks
----------------
-
-Valid addresses for the MAX6875 are 0x50 and 0x52.
-Valid addresses for the MAX6874 are 0x50, 0x52, 0x54 and 0x56.
-The driver does not probe any address, so you must force the address.
-
-Example:
-$ modprobe max6875 force=0,0x50
-
-The MAX6874/MAX6875 ignores address bit 0, so this driver attaches to multiple
-addresses. For example, for address 0x50, it also reserves 0x51.
-The even-address instance is called 'max6875', the odd one is 'max6875 subclient'.
-
-
-Programming the chip using i2c-dev
-----------------------------------
-
-Use the i2c-dev interface to access and program the chips.
-Reads and writes are performed differently depending on the address range.
-
-The configuration registers are at addresses 0x00 - 0x45.
-Use i2c_smbus_write_byte_data() to write a register and
-i2c_smbus_read_byte_data() to read a register.
-The command is the register number.
-
-Examples:
-To write a 1 to register 0x45:
- i2c_smbus_write_byte_data(fd, 0x45, 1);
-
-To read register 0x45:
- value = i2c_smbus_read_byte_data(fd, 0x45);
-
-
-The configuration EEPROM is at addresses 0x8000 - 0x8045.
-The user EEPROM is at addresses 0x8100 - 0x82ff.
-
-Use i2c_smbus_write_word_data() to write a byte to EEPROM.
-
-The command is the upper byte of the address: 0x80, 0x81, or 0x82.
-The data word is the lower part of the address or'd with data << 8.
- cmd = address >> 8;
- val = (address & 0xff) | (data << 8);
-
-Example:
-To write 0x5a to address 0x8003:
- i2c_smbus_write_word_data(fd, 0x80, 0x5a03);
-
-
-Reading data from the EEPROM is a little more complicated.
-Use i2c_smbus_write_byte_data() to set the read address and then
-i2c_smbus_read_byte() or i2c_smbus_read_i2c_block_data() to read the data.
-
-Example:
-To read data starting at offset 0x8100, first set the address:
- i2c_smbus_write_byte_data(fd, 0x81, 0x00);
-
-And then read the data
- value = i2c_smbus_read_byte(fd);
-
- or
-
- count = i2c_smbus_read_i2c_block_data(fd, 0x84, 16, buffer);
-
-The block read should read 16 bytes.
-0x84 is the block read command.
-
-See the datasheet for more details.

-Description
------------
-The PCF8574(A) is an 8-bit I/O expander for the I2C bus produced by Philips
-Semiconductors. It is designed to provide a byte I2C interface to up to 16
-separate devices (8 x PCF8574 and 8 x PCF8574A).
-
-This device consists of a quasi-bidirectional port. Each of the eight I/Os
-can be independently used as an input or output. To setup an I/O as an
-input, you have to write a 1 to the corresponding output.
-
-For more informations see the datasheet.

--------------------------------------
-
-! Be careful !
-The PCF8574(A) is plainly impossible to detect ! Stupid chip.
-So every chip with address in the interval [20..27] and [38..3f] are
-detected as PCF8574(A). If you have other chips in this address
-range, the workaround is to load this module after the one
-for your others chips.
-
-On detection (i.e. insmod, modprobe et al.), directories are being
-created for each detected PCF8574(A):
-
-/sys/bus/i2c/devices/<0>-<1>/
-where <0> is the bus the chip was detected on (e. g. i2c-0)
-and <1> the chip address ([20..27] or [38..3f]):
-
-(example: /sys/bus/i2c/devices/1-0020/)
-
-Inside these directories, there are two files each:
-read and write (and one file with chip name).
-
-The read file is read-only. Reading gives you the current I/O input
-if the corresponding output is set as 1, otherwise the current output
-value, that is to say 0.
-
-The write file is read/write. Writing a value outputs it on the I/O
-port. Reading returns the last written value. As it is not possible
-to read this value from the chip, you need to write at least once to
-this file before you can read back from it.

-About the PCF8575 chip and the pcf8575 kernel driver
-====================================================
-
-The PCF8575 chip is produced by the following manufacturers:
-
- * Philips NXP
- http://www.nxp.com/#/pip/cb=[type=product,path=50807/41735/41850,final=PCF8575_3]|pip=[pip=PCF8575_3][0]
-
- * Texas Instruments
- http://focus.ti.com/docs/prod/folders/print/pcf8575.html
-
-
-Some vendors sell small PCB's with the PCF8575 mounted on it. You can connect
-such a board to a Linux host via e.g. an USB to I2C interface. Examples of
-PCB boards with a PCF8575:

-
-Description
------------
-The PCF8575 chip is a 16-bit I/O expander for the I2C bus. Up to eight of
-these chips can be connected to the same I2C bus. You can find this
-chip on some custom designed hardware, but you won't find it on PC
-motherboards.
-
-The PCF8575 chip consists of a 16-bit quasi-bidirectional port and an I2C-bus
-interface. Each of the sixteen I/O's can be independently used as an input or
-an output. To set up an I/O pin as an input, you have to write a 1 to the
-corresponding output.
-
-For more information please see the datasheet.
-
-
-Detection
----------
-
-There is no method known to detect whether a chip on a given I2C address is
-a PCF8575 or whether it is any other I2C device. So there are two alternatives
-to let the driver find the installed PCF8575 devices:
-- Load this driver after any other I2C driver for I2C devices with addresses
- in the range 0x20 .. 0x27.
-- Pass the I2C bus and address of the installed PCF8575 devices explicitly to
- the driver at load time via the probe=... or force=... parameters.
-
-/sys interface
---------------
-
-For each address on which a PCF8575 chip was found or forced the following
-files will be created under /sys:
-* /sys/bus/i2c/devices/<bus>-<address>/read
-* /sys/bus/i2c/devices/<bus>-<address>/write
-where bus is the I2C bus number (0, 1, ...) and address is the four-digit
-hexadecimal representation of the 7-bit I2C address of the PCF8575
-(0020 .. 0027).
-
-The read file is read-only. Reading it will trigger an I2C read and will hence
-report the current input state for the pins configured as inputs, and the
-current output value for the pins configured as outputs.
-
-The write file is read-write. Writing a value to it will configure all pins
-as output for which the corresponding bit is zero. Reading the write file will
-return the value last written, or -EAGAIN if no value has yet been written to
-the write file.
-
-On module initialization the configuration of the chip is not changed -- the
-chip is left in the state it was already configured in through either power-up
-or through previous I2C write actions.

+
+
+Implementation details
+======================
+
+For the interested, here's the code flow which happens inside the kernel
+when you use the /dev interface to I2C:
+
+1* Your program opens /dev/i2c-N and calls ioctl() on it, as described in
+section "C example" above.
+
+2* These open() and ioctl() calls are handled by the i2c-dev kernel
+driver: see i2c-dev.c:i2cdev_open() and i2c-dev.c:i2cdev_ioctl(),
+respectively. You can think of i2c-dev as a generic I2C chip driver
+that can be programmed from user-space.
+
+3* Some ioctl() calls are for administrative tasks and are handled by
+i2c-dev directly. Examples include I2C_SLAVE (set the address of the
+device you want to access) and I2C_PEC (enable or disable SMBus error
+checking on future transactions.)
+
+4* Other ioctl() calls are converted to in-kernel function calls by
+i2c-dev. Examples include I2C_FUNCS, which queries the I2C adapter
+functionality using i2c.h:i2c_get_functionality(), and I2C_SMBUS, which
+performs an SMBus transaction using i2c-core.c:i2c_smbus_xfer().
+
+The i2c-dev driver is responsible for checking all the parameters that
+come from user-space for validity. After this point, there is no
+difference between these calls that came from user-space through i2c-dev
+and calls that would have been performed by kernel I2C chip drivers
+directly. This means that I2C bus drivers don't need to implement
+anything special to support access from user-space.
+
+5* These i2c-core.c/i2c.h functions are wrappers to the actual
+implementation of your I2C bus driver. Each adapter must declare
+callback functions implementing these standard calls.
+i2c.h:i2c_get_functionality() calls i2c_adapter.algo->functionality(),
+while i2c-core.c:i2c_smbus_xfer() calls either
+adapter.algo->smbus_xfer() if it is implemented, or if not,
+i2c-core.c:i2c_smbus_xfer_emulated() which in turn calls
+i2c_adapter.algo->master_xfer().
+
+After your I2C bus driver has processed these requests, execution runs
+up the call chain, with almost no processing done, except by i2c-dev to
+package the returned data, if any, in suitable format for the ioctl.

+This is a summary of the most important conventions for use of fault
+codes in the I2C/SMBus stack.
+
+
+A "Fault" is not always an "Error"
+----------------------------------
+Not all fault reports imply errors; "page faults" should be a familiar
+example. Software often retries idempotent operations after transient
+faults. There may be fancier recovery schemes that are appropriate in
+some cases, such as re-initializing (and maybe resetting). After such
+recovery, triggered by a fault report, there is no error.
+
+In a similar way, sometimes a "fault" code just reports one defined
+result for an operation ... it doesn't indicate that anything is wrong
+at all, just that the outcome wasn't on the "golden path".
+
+In short, your I2C driver code may need to know these codes in order
+to respond correctly. Other code may need to rely on YOUR code reporting
+the right fault code, so that it can (in turn) behave correctly.
+
+
+I2C and SMBus fault codes
+-------------------------
+These are returned as negative numbers from most calls, with zero or
+some positive number indicating a non-fault return. The specific
+numbers associated with these symbols differ between architectures,
+though most Linux systems use <asm-generic/errno*.h> numbering.
+
+Note that the descriptions here are not exhaustive. There are other
+codes that may be returned, and other cases where these codes should
+be returned. However, drivers should not return other codes for these
+cases (unless the hardware doesn't provide unique fault reports).
+
+Also, codes returned by adapter probe methods follow rules which are
+specific to their host bus (such as PCI, or the platform bus).
+
+
+EAGAIN
+ Returned by I2C adapters when they lose arbitration in master
+ transmit mode: some other master was transmitting different
+ data at the same time.
+
+ Also returned when trying to invoke an I2C operation in an
+ atomic context, when some task is already using that I2C bus
+ to execute some other operation.
+
+EBADMSG
+ Returned by SMBus logic when an invalid Packet Error Code byte
+ is received. This code is a CRC covering all bytes in the
+ transaction, and is sent before the terminating STOP. This
+ fault is only reported on read transactions; the SMBus slave
+ may have a way to report PEC mismatches on writes from the
+ host. Note that even if PECs are in use, you should not rely
+ on these as the only way to detect incorrect data transfers.
+
+EBUSY
+ Returned by SMBus adapters when the bus was busy for longer
+ than allowed. This usually indicates some device (maybe the
+ SMBus adapter) needs some fault recovery (such as resetting),
+ or that the reset was attempted but failed.
+
+EINVAL
+ This rather vague error means an invalid parameter has been
+ detected before any I/O operation was started. Use a more
+ specific fault code when you can.
+
+EIO
+ This rather vague error means something went wrong when
+ performing an I/O operation. Use a more specific fault
+ code when you can.
+
+ENODEV
+ Returned by driver probe() methods. This is a bit more
+ specific than ENXIO, implying the problem isn't with the
+ address, but with the device found there. Driver probes
+ may verify the device returns *correct* responses, and
+ return this as appropriate. (The driver core will warn
+ about probe faults other than ENXIO and ENODEV.)
+
+ENOMEM
+ Returned by any component that can't allocate memory when
+ it needs to do so.
+
+ENXIO
+ Returned by I2C adapters to indicate that the address phase
+ of a transfer didn't get an ACK. While it might just mean
+ an I2C device was temporarily not responding, usually it
+ means there's nothing listening at that address.
+
+ Returned by driver probe() methods to indicate that they
+ found no device to bind to. (ENODEV may also be used.)
+
+EOPNOTSUPP
+ Returned by an adapter when asked to perform an operation
+ that it doesn't, or can't, support.
+
+ For example, this would be returned when an adapter that
+ doesn't support SMBus block transfers is asked to execute
+ one. In that case, the driver making that request should
+ have verified that functionality was supported before it
+ made that block transfer request.
+
+ Similarly, if an I2C adapter can't execute all legal I2C
+ messages, it should return this when asked to perform a
+ transaction it can't. (These limitations can't be seen in
+ the adapter's functionality mask, since the assumption is
+ that if an adapter supports I2C it supports all of I2C.)
+
+EPROTO
+ Returned when slave does not conform to the relevant I2C
+ or SMBus (or chip-specific) protocol specifications. One
+ case is when the length of an SMBus block data response
+ (from the SMBus slave) is outside the range 1-32 bytes.
+
+ETIMEDOUT
+ This is returned by drivers when an operation took too much
+ time, and was aborted before it completed.
+
+ SMBus adapters may return it when an operation took more
+ time than allowed by the SMBus specification; for example,
+ when a slave stretches clocks too far. I2C has no such
+ timeouts, but it's normal for I2C adapters to impose some
+ arbitrary limits (much longer than SMBus!) too.

+How to instantiate I2C devices
+==============================
+
+Unlike PCI or USB devices, I2C devices are not enumerated at the hardware
+level. Instead, the software must know which devices are connected on each
+I2C bus segment, and what address these devices are using. For this
+reason, the kernel code must instantiate I2C devices explicitly. There are
+several ways to achieve this, depending on the context and requirements.
+
+
+Method 1a: Declare the I2C devices by bus number
+------------------------------------------------
+
+This method is appropriate when the I2C bus is a system bus as is the case
+for many embedded systems. On such systems, each I2C bus has a number
+which is known in advance. It is thus possible to pre-declare the I2C
+devices which live on this bus. This is done with an array of struct
+i2c_board_info which is registered by calling i2c_register_board_info().
+
+Example (from omap2 h4):
+
+static struct i2c_board_info h4_i2c_board_info[] __initdata = {
+ {
+ I2C_BOARD_INFO("isp1301_omap", 0x2d),
+ .irq = OMAP_GPIO_IRQ(125),
+ },
+ { /* EEPROM on mainboard */
+ I2C_BOARD_INFO("24c01", 0x52),
+ .platform_data = &m24c01,
+ },
+ { /* EEPROM on cpu card */
+ I2C_BOARD_INFO("24c01", 0x57),
+ .platform_data = &m24c01,
+ },
+};
+
+static void __init omap_h4_init(void)
+{
+ (...)
+ i2c_register_board_info(1, h4_i2c_board_info,
+ ARRAY_SIZE(h4_i2c_board_info));
+ (...)
+}
+
+The above code declares 3 devices on I2C bus 1, including their respective
+addresses and custom data needed by their drivers. When the I2C bus in
+question is registered, the I2C devices will be instantiated automatically
+by i2c-core.
+
+The devices will be automatically unbound and destroyed when the I2C bus
+they sit on goes away (if ever.)
+
+
+Method 1b: Declare the I2C devices via devicetree
+-------------------------------------------------
+
+This method has the same implications as method 1a. The declaration of I2C
+devices is here done via devicetree as subnodes of the master controller.
+
+Example:
+
+ i2c1: i2c@400a0000 {
+ /* ... master properties skipped ... */
+ clock-frequency = <100000>;
+
+ flash@50 {
+ compatible = "atmel,24c256";
+ reg = <0x50>;
+ };
+
+ pca9532: gpio@60 {
+ compatible = "nxp,pca9532";
+ gpio-controller;
+ #gpio-cells = <2>;
+ reg = <0x60>;
+ };
+ };
+
+Here, two devices are attached to the bus using a speed of 100kHz. For
+additional properties which might be needed to set up the device, please refer
+to its devicetree documentation in Documentation/devicetree/bindings/.
+
+
+Method 1c: Declare the I2C devices via ACPI
+-------------------------------------------
+
+ACPI can also describe I2C devices. There is special documentation for this
+which is currently located at Documentation/acpi/enumeration.txt.
+
+
+Method 2: Instantiate the devices explicitly
+--------------------------------------------
+
+This method is appropriate when a larger device uses an I2C bus for
+internal communication. A typical case is TV adapters. These can have a
+tuner, a video decoder, an audio decoder, etc. usually connected to the
+main chip by the means of an I2C bus. You won't know the number of the I2C
+bus in advance, so the method 1 described above can't be used. Instead,
+you can instantiate your I2C devices explicitly. This is done by filling
+a struct i2c_board_info and calling i2c_new_device().
+
+Example (from the sfe4001 network driver):
+
+static struct i2c_board_info sfe4001_hwmon_info = {
+ I2C_BOARD_INFO("max6647", 0x4e),
+};
+
+int sfe4001_init(struct efx_nic *efx)
+{
+ (...)
+ efx->board_info.hwmon_client =
+ i2c_new_device(&efx->i2c_adap, &sfe4001_hwmon_info);
+
+ (...)
+}
+
+The above code instantiates 1 I2C device on the I2C bus which is on the
+network adapter in question.
+
+A variant of this is when you don't know for sure if an I2C device is
+present or not (for example for an optional feature which is not present
+on cheap variants of a board but you have no way to tell them apart), or
+it may have different addresses from one board to the next (manufacturer
+changing its design without notice). In this case, you can call
+i2c_new_probed_device() instead of i2c_new_device().
+
+Example (from the nxp OHCI driver):
+
+static const unsigned short normal_i2c[] = { 0x2c, 0x2d, I2C_CLIENT_END };
+
+static int usb_hcd_nxp_probe(struct platform_device *pdev)
+{
+ (...)
+ struct i2c_adapter *i2c_adap;
+ struct i2c_board_info i2c_info;
+
+ (...)
+ i2c_adap = i2c_get_adapter(2);
+ memset(&i2c_info, 0, sizeof(struct i2c_board_info));
+ strlcpy(i2c_info.type, "isp1301_nxp", I2C_NAME_SIZE);
+ isp1301_i2c_client = i2c_new_probed_device(i2c_adap, &i2c_info,
+ normal_i2c, NULL);
+ i2c_put_adapter(i2c_adap);
+ (...)
+}
+
+The above code instantiates up to 1 I2C device on the I2C bus which is on
+the OHCI adapter in question. It first tries at address 0x2c, if nothing
+is found there it tries address 0x2d, and if still nothing is found, it
+simply gives up.
+
+The driver which instantiated the I2C device is responsible for destroying
+it on cleanup. This is done by calling i2c_unregister_device() on the
+pointer that was earlier returned by i2c_new_device() or
+i2c_new_probed_device().
+
+
+Method 3: Probe an I2C bus for certain devices
+----------------------------------------------
+
+Sometimes you do not have enough information about an I2C device, not even
+to call i2c_new_probed_device(). The typical case is hardware monitoring
+chips on PC mainboards. There are several dozen models, which can live
+at 25 different addresses. Given the huge number of mainboards out there,
+it is next to impossible to build an exhaustive list of the hardware
+monitoring chips being used. Fortunately, most of these chips have
+manufacturer and device ID registers, so they can be identified by
+probing.
+
+In that case, I2C devices are neither declared nor instantiated
+explicitly. Instead, i2c-core will probe for such devices as soon as their
+drivers are loaded, and if any is found, an I2C device will be
+instantiated automatically. In order to prevent any misbehavior of this
+mechanism, the following restrictions apply:
+* The I2C device driver must implement the detect() method, which
+ identifies a supported device by reading from arbitrary registers.
+* Only buses which are likely to have a supported device and agree to be
+ probed, will be probed. For example this avoids probing for hardware
+ monitoring chips on a TV adapter.
+
+Example:
+See lm90_driver and lm90_detect() in drivers/hwmon/lm90.c
+
+I2C devices instantiated as a result of such a successful probe will be
+destroyed automatically when the driver which detected them is removed,
+or when the underlying I2C bus is itself destroyed, whichever happens
+first.
+
+Those of you familiar with the i2c subsystem of 2.4 kernels and early 2.6
+kernels will find out that this method 3 is essentially similar to what
+was done there. Two significant differences are:
+* Probing is only one way to instantiate I2C devices now, while it was the
+ only way back then. Where possible, methods 1 and 2 should be preferred.
+ Method 3 should only be used when there is no other way, as it can have
+ undesirable side effects.
+* I2C buses must now explicitly say which I2C driver classes can probe
+ them (by the means of the class bitfield), while all I2C buses were
+ probed by default back then. The default is an empty class which means
+ that no probing happens. The purpose of the class bitfield is to limit
+ the aforementioned undesirable side effects.
+
+Once again, method 3 should be avoided wherever possible. Explicit device
+instantiation (methods 1 and 2) is much preferred for it is safer and
+faster.
+
+
+Method 4: Instantiate from user-space
+-------------------------------------
+
+In general, the kernel should know which I2C devices are connected and
+what addresses they live at. However, in certain cases, it does not, so a
+sysfs interface was added to let the user provide the information. This
+interface is made of 2 attribute files which are created in every I2C bus
+directory: new_device and delete_device. Both files are write only and you
+must write the right parameters to them in order to properly instantiate,
+respectively delete, an I2C device.
+
+File new_device takes 2 parameters: the name of the I2C device (a string)
+and the address of the I2C device (a number, typically expressed in
+hexadecimal starting with 0x, but can also be expressed in decimal.)
+
+File delete_device takes a single parameter: the address of the I2C
+device. As no two devices can live at the same address on a given I2C
+segment, the address is sufficient to uniquely identify the device to be
+deleted.
+
+Example:
+# echo eeprom 0x50 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-3/new_device
+
+While this interface should only be used when in-kernel device declaration
+can't be done, there is a variety of cases where it can be helpful:
+* The I2C driver usually detects devices (method 3 above) but the bus
+ segment your device lives on doesn't have the proper class bit set and
+ thus detection doesn't trigger.
+* The I2C driver usually detects devices, but your device lives at an
+ unexpected address.
+* The I2C driver usually detects devices, but your device is not detected,
+ either because the detection routine is too strict, or because your
+ device is not officially supported yet but you know it is compatible.
+* You are developing a driver on a test board, where you soldered the I2C
+ device yourself.
+
+This interface is a replacement for the force_* module parameters some I2C
+drivers implement. Being implemented in i2c-core rather than in each
+device driver individually, it is much more efficient, and also has the
+advantage that you do not have to reload the driver to change a setting.
+You can also instantiate the device before the driver is loaded or even
+available, and you don't need to know what driver the device needs.

+Kernel driver i2c-gpio-mux
+
+Author: Peter Korsgaard <peter.korsgaard@barco.com>
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+i2c-gpio-mux is an i2c mux driver providing access to I2C bus segments
+from a master I2C bus and a hardware MUX controlled through GPIO pins.
+
+E.G.:
+
+ ---------- ---------- Bus segment 1 - - - - -
+ | | SCL/SDA | |-------------- | |
+ | |------------| |
+ | | | | Bus segment 2 | |
+ | Linux | GPIO 1..N | MUX |--------------- Devices
+ | |------------| | | |
+ | | | | Bus segment M
+ | | | |---------------| |
+ ---------- ---------- - - - - -
+
+SCL/SDA of the master I2C bus is multiplexed to bus segment 1..M
+according to the settings of the GPIO pins 1..N.
+
+Usage
+-----
+
+i2c-gpio-mux uses the platform bus, so you need to provide a struct
+platform_device with the platform_data pointing to a struct
+gpio_i2cmux_platform_data with the I2C adapter number of the master
+bus, the number of bus segments to create and the GPIO pins used
+to control it. See include/linux/i2c-gpio-mux.h for details.
+
+E.G. something like this for a MUX providing 4 bus segments
+controlled through 3 GPIO pins:
+
+#include <linux/i2c-gpio-mux.h>
+#include <linux/platform_device.h>
+
+static const unsigned myboard_gpiomux_gpios[] = {
+ AT91_PIN_PC26, AT91_PIN_PC25, AT91_PIN_PC24
+};
+
+static const unsigned myboard_gpiomux_values[] = {
+ 0, 1, 2, 3
+};
+
+static struct gpio_i2cmux_platform_data myboard_i2cmux_data = {
+ .parent = 1,
+ .base_nr = 2, /* optional */
+ .values = myboard_gpiomux_values,
+ .n_values = ARRAY_SIZE(myboard_gpiomux_values),
+ .gpios = myboard_gpiomux_gpios,
+ .n_gpios = ARRAY_SIZE(myboard_gpiomux_gpios),
+ .idle = 4, /* optional */
+};
+
+static struct platform_device myboard_i2cmux = {
+ .name = "i2c-gpio-mux",
+ .id = 0,
+ .dev = {
+ .platform_data = &myboard_i2cmux_data,
+ },
+};
+
+If you don't know the absolute GPIO pin numbers at registration time,
+you can instead provide a chip name (.chip_name) and relative GPIO pin
+numbers, and the i2c-gpio-mux driver will do the work for you,
+including deferred probing if the GPIO chip isn't immediately
+available.
+
+Device Registration
+-------------------
+
+When registering your i2c-gpio-mux device, you should pass the number
+of any GPIO pin it uses as the device ID. This guarantees that every
+instance has a different ID.
+
+Alternatively, if you don't need a stable device name, you can simply
+pass PLATFORM_DEVID_AUTO as the device ID, and the platform core will
+assign a dynamic ID to your device. If you do not know the absolute
+GPIO pin numbers at registration time, this is even the only option.

+I2C device driver binding control from user-space

+parameters were known as "probe" (to let the driver probe for an extra
+address), "force" (to forcibly attach the driver to a given device) and
+"ignore" (to prevent a driver from probing a given address).
+
+With the conversion of the i2c subsystem to the standard device driver
+binding model, it became clear that these per-module parameters were no
+longer needed, and that a centralized implementation was possible. The new,
+sysfs-based interface is described in the documentation file
+"instantiating-devices", section "Method 4: Instantiate from user-space".
+
+Below is a mapping from the old module parameters to the new interface.
+
+Attaching a driver to an I2C device
+-----------------------------------
+
+Old method (module parameters):
+# modprobe <driver> probe=1,0x2d
+# modprobe <driver> force=1,0x2d
+# modprobe <driver> force_<device>=1,0x2d
+
+New method (sysfs interface):
+# echo <device> 0x2d > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-1/new_device
+
+Preventing a driver from attaching to an I2C device
+---------------------------------------------------
+
+Old method (module parameters):
+# modprobe <driver> ignore=1,0x2f
+
+New method (sysfs interface):
+# echo dummy 0x2f > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-1/new_device
+# modprobe <driver>
+
+Of course, it is important to instantiate the "dummy" device before loading
+the driver. The dummy device will be handled by i2c-core itself, preventing
+other drivers from binding to it later on. If there is a real device at the
+problematic address, and you want another driver to bind to it, then simply
+pass the name of the device in question instead of "dummy".

-Revision 7, 2007-04-19
-Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>
-Greg KH <greg@kroah.com>
-
-This is a guide on how to convert I2C chip drivers from Linux 2.4 to
-Linux 2.6. I have been using existing drivers (lm75, lm78) as examples.
-Then I converted a driver myself (lm83) and updated this document.
-Note that this guide is strongly oriented towards hardware monitoring
-drivers. Many points are still valid for other type of drivers, but
-others may be irrelevant.
-
-There are two sets of points below. The first set concerns technical
-changes. The second set concerns coding policy. Both are mandatory.
-
-Although reading this guide will help you porting drivers, I suggest
-you keep an eye on an already ported driver while porting your own
-driver. This will help you a lot understanding what this guide
-exactly means. Choose the chip driver that is the more similar to
-yours for best results.
-
-Technical changes:
-
-* [Driver type] Any driver that was relying on i2c-isa has to be
- converted to a proper isa, platform or pci driver. This is not
- covered by this guide.
-
-* [Includes] Get rid of "version.h" and <linux/i2c-proc.h>.
- Includes typically look like that:
- #include <linux/module.h>
- #include <linux/init.h>
- #include <linux/slab.h>
- #include <linux/jiffies.h>
- #include <linux/i2c.h>
- #include <linux/hwmon.h> /* for hardware monitoring drivers */
- #include <linux/hwmon-sysfs.h>
- #include <linux/hwmon-vid.h> /* if you need VRM support */
- #include <linux/err.h> /* for class registration */
- Please respect this inclusion order. Some extra headers may be
- required for a given driver (e.g. "lm75.h").
-
-* [Addresses] SENSORS_I2C_END becomes I2C_CLIENT_END, ISA addresses
- are no more handled by the i2c core. Address ranges are no more
- supported either, define each individual address separately.
- SENSORS_INSMOD_<n> becomes I2C_CLIENT_INSMOD_<n>.
-
-* [Client data] Get rid of sysctl_id. Try using standard names for
- register values (for example, temp_os becomes temp_max). You're
- still relatively free here, but you *have* to follow the standard
- names for sysfs files (see the Sysctl section below).
-
-* [Function prototypes] The detect functions loses its flags
- parameter. Sysctl (e.g. lm75_temp) and miscellaneous functions
- are off the list of prototypes. This usually leaves five
- prototypes:
- static int lm75_attach_adapter(struct i2c_adapter *adapter);
- static int lm75_detect(struct i2c_adapter *adapter, int address,
- int kind);
- static void lm75_init_client(struct i2c_client *client);
- static int lm75_detach_client(struct i2c_client *client);
- static struct lm75_data lm75_update_device(struct device *dev);
-
-* [Sysctl] All sysctl stuff is of course gone (defines, ctl_table
- and functions). Instead, you have to define show and set functions for
- each sysfs file. Only define set for writable values. Take a look at an
- existing 2.6 driver for details (it87 for example). Don't forget
- to define the attributes for each file (this is that step that
- links callback functions). Use the file names specified in
- Documentation/hwmon/sysfs-interface for the individual files. Also
- convert the units these files read and write to the specified ones.
- If you need to add a new type of file, please discuss it on the
- sensors mailing list <lm-sensors@lm-sensors.org> by providing a
- patch to the Documentation/hwmon/sysfs-interface file.
-
-* [Attach] The attach function should make sure that the adapter's
- class has I2C_CLASS_HWMON (or whatever class is suitable for your
- driver), using the following construct:
- if (!(adapter->class & I2C_CLASS_HWMON))
- return 0;
- Call i2c_probe() instead of i2c_detect().
-
-* [Detect] As mentioned earlier, the flags parameter is gone.
- The type_name and client_name strings are replaced by a single
- name string, which will be filled with a lowercase, short string.
- The labels used for error paths are reduced to the number needed.
- It is advised that the labels are given descriptive names such as
- exit and exit_free. Don't forget to properly set err before
- jumping to error labels. By the way, labels should be left-aligned.
- Use kzalloc instead of kmalloc.
- Use i2c_set_clientdata to set the client data (as opposed to
- a direct access to client->data).
- Use strlcpy instead of strcpy or snprintf to copy the client name.
- Replace the sysctl directory registration by calls to
- device_create_file. Move the driver initialization before any
- sysfs file creation.
- Register the client with the hwmon class (using hwmon_device_register)
- if applicable.
- Drop client->id.
- Drop any 24RF08 corruption prevention you find, as this is now done
- at the i2c-core level, and doing it twice voids it.
- Don't add I2C_CLIENT_ALLOW_USE to client->flags, it's the default now.
-
-* [Init] Limits must not be set by the driver (can be done later in
- user-space). Chip should not be reset default (although a module
- parameter may be used to force it), and initialization should be
- limited to the strictly necessary steps.
-
-* [Detach] Remove the call to i2c_deregister_entry. Do not log an
- error message if i2c_detach_client fails, as i2c-core will now do
- it for you.
- Unregister from the hwmon class if applicable.
-
-* [Update] The function prototype changed, it is now
- passed a device structure, which you have to convert to a client
- using to_i2c_client(dev). The update function should return a
- pointer to the client data.
- Don't access client->data directly, use i2c_get_clientdata(client)
- instead.
- Use time_after() instead of direct jiffies comparison.
-
-* [Interface] Make sure there is a MODULE_LICENSE() line, at the bottom
- of the file (after MODULE_AUTHOR() and MODULE_DESCRIPTION(), in this
- order).
-
-* [Driver] The flags field of the i2c_driver structure is gone.
- I2C_DF_NOTIFY is now the default behavior.
- The i2c_driver structure has a driver member, which is itself a
- structure, those name member should be initialized to a driver name
- string. i2c_driver itself has no name member anymore.
-
-* [Driver model] Instead of shutdown or reboot notifiers, provide a
- shutdown() method in your driver.
-
-* [Power management] Use the driver model suspend() and resume()
- callbacks instead of the obsolete pm_register() calls.
-
-Coding policy:
-
-* [Copyright] Use (C), not (c), for copyright.
-
-* [Debug/log] Get rid of #ifdef DEBUG/#endif constructs whenever you
- can. Calls to printk for debugging purposes are replaced by calls to
- dev_dbg where possible, else to pr_debug. Here is an example of how
- to call it (taken from lm75_detect):
- dev_dbg(&client->dev, "Starting lm75 update\n");
- Replace other printk calls with the dev_info, dev_err or dev_warn
- function, as appropriate.
-
-* [Constants] Constants defines (registers, conversions) should be
- aligned. This greatly improves readability.
- Alignments are achieved by the means of tabs, not spaces. Remember
- that tabs are set to 8 in the Linux kernel code.
-
-* [Layout] Avoid extra empty lines between comments and what they
- comment. Respect the coding style (see Documentation/CodingStyle),
- in particular when it comes to placing curly braces.
-
-* [Comments] Make sure that no comment refers to a file that isn't
- part of the Linux source tree (typically doc/chips/<chip name>),
- and that remaining comments still match the code. Merging comment
- lines when possible is encouraged.

+Upgrading I2C Drivers to the new 2.6 Driver Model
+=================================================
+
+Ben Dooks <ben-linux@fluff.org>
+
+Introduction
+------------
+
+This guide outlines how to alter existing Linux 2.6 client drivers from
+the old to the new new binding methods.
+
+
+Example old-style driver
+------------------------
+
+
+struct example_state {
+ struct i2c_client client;
+ ....
+};
+
+static struct i2c_driver example_driver;
+
+static unsigned short ignore[] = { I2C_CLIENT_END };

+

+}
+
+static struct i2c_driver example_driver = {
+ .driver = {
+ .owner = THIS_MODULE,
+ .name = "example",
+ },
+ .attach_adapter = example_attach_adapter,
+ .detach_client = example_detach,
+ .suspend = example_suspend,
+ .resume = example_resume,
+};
+
+
+Updating the client
+-------------------
+
+The new style binding model will check against a list of supported
+devices and their associated address supplied by the code registering
+the busses. This means that the driver .attach_adapter and
+.detach_client methods can be removed, along with the addr_data,
+as follows:
+
+- static struct i2c_driver example_driver;
+
+- static unsigned short ignore[] = { I2C_CLIENT_END };
+- static unsigned short normal_addr[] = { OUR_ADDR, I2C_CLIENT_END };
+
+- I2C_CLIENT_INSMOD;
+
+- static int example_attach_adapter(struct i2c_adapter *adap)
+- {
+- return i2c_probe(adap, &addr_data, example_attach);
+- }
+
+ static struct i2c_driver example_driver = {
+- .attach_adapter = example_attach_adapter,
+- .detach_client = example_detach,
+ }
+
+Add the probe and remove methods to the i2c_driver, as so:
+
+ static struct i2c_driver example_driver = {
++ .probe = example_probe,
++ .remove = example_remove,
+ }
+
+Change the example_attach method to accept the new parameters
+which include the i2c_client that it will be working with:
+
+- static int example_attach(struct i2c_adapter *adap, int addr, int kind)
++ static int example_probe(struct i2c_client *client,

+Device Detection

+
+Sometimes you do not know in advance which I2C devices are connected to

+devices on a PC's SMBus. In that case, you may want to let your driver
+detect supported devices automatically. This is how the legacy model
+was working, and is now available as an extension to the standard
+driver model.
+
+You simply have to define a detect callback which will attempt to
+identify supported devices (returning 0 for supported ones and -ENODEV
+for unsupported ones), a list of addresses to probe, and a device type
+(or class) so that only I2C buses which may have that type of device
+connected (and not otherwise enumerated) will be probed. For example,
+a driver for a hardware monitoring chip for which auto-detection is
+needed would set its class to I2C_CLASS_HWMON, and only I2C adapters
+with a class including I2C_CLASS_HWMON would be probed by this driver.
+Note that the absence of matching classes does not prevent the use of
+a device of that type on the given I2C adapter. All it prevents is
+auto-detection; explicit instantiation of devices is still possible.
+
+Note that this mechanism is purely optional and not suitable for all
+devices. You need some reliable way to identify the supported devices
+(typically using device-specific, dedicated identification registers),
+otherwise misdetections are likely to occur and things can get wrong

+
+Note that some functions are marked by `__init'. These functions can

+Likewise, functions marked by `__exit' are dropped by the compiler when
+the code is built into the kernel, as they would never be called.
-Most i2c devices can be present on several i2c addresses; for some this
-is determined in hardware (by soldering some chip pins to Vcc or Ground),
-for others this can be changed in software (by writing to specific client
-registers). Some devices are usually on a specific address, but not always;
-and some are even more tricky. So you will probably need to scan several
-i2c addresses for your clients, and do some sort of detection to see
-whether it is actually a device supported by your driver.
-To give the user a maximum of possibilities, some default module parameters
-are defined to help determine what addresses are scanned. Several macros
-are defined in i2c.h to help you support them, as well as a generic
-detection algorithm.
-
-You do not have to use this parameter interface; but don't try to use
-function i2c_probe() if you don't.
-
-
-Probing classes (Legacy model)
-------------------------------
-
-All parameters are given as lists of unsigned 16-bit integers. Lists are
-terminated by I2C_CLIENT_END.
-The following lists are used internally:
-
- normal_i2c: filled in by the module writer.
- A list of I2C addresses which should normally be examined.
- probe: insmod parameter.
- A list of pairs. The first value is a bus number (-1 for any I2C bus),
- the second is the address. These addresses are also probed, as if they
- were in the 'normal' list.
- ignore: insmod parameter.
- A list of pairs. The first value is a bus number (-1 for any I2C bus),
- the second is the I2C address. These addresses are never probed.
- This parameter overrules the 'normal_i2c' list only.
- force: insmod parameter.
- A list of pairs. The first value is a bus number (-1 for any I2C bus),
- the second is the I2C address. A device is blindly assumed to be on
- the given address, no probing is done.
-
-Additionally, kind-specific force lists may optionally be defined if
-the driver supports several chip kinds. They are grouped in a
-NULL-terminated list of pointers named forces, those first element if the
-generic force list mentioned above. Each additional list correspond to an
-insmod parameter of the form force_<kind>.
-
-Fortunately, as a module writer, you just have to define the `normal_i2c'
-parameter. The complete declaration could look like this:
-
- /* Scan 0x4c to 0x4f */
- static const unsigned short normal_i2c[] = { 0x4c, 0x4d, 0x4e, 0x4f,
- I2C_CLIENT_END };
-
- /* Magic definition of all other variables and things */
- I2C_CLIENT_INSMOD;
- /* Or, if your driver supports, say, 2 kind of devices: */
- I2C_CLIENT_INSMOD_2(foo, bar);
-
-If you use the multi-kind form, an enum will be defined for you:
- enum chips { any_chip, foo, bar, ... }
-You can then (and certainly should) use it in the driver code.
-
-Note that you *have* to call the defined variable `normal_i2c',
-without any prefix!
-
-
-Attaching to an adapter (Legacy model)
---------------------------------------
-
-Whenever a new adapter is inserted, or for all adapters if the driver is
-being registered, the callback attach_adapter() is called. Now is the
-time to determine what devices are present on the adapter, and to register
-a client for each of them.
-
-The attach_adapter callback is really easy: we just call the generic
-detection function. This function will scan the bus for us, using the
-information as defined in the lists explained above. If a device is
-detected at a specific address, another callback is called.
-
- int foo_attach_adapter(struct i2c_adapter *adapter)
- {
- return i2c_probe(adapter,&addr_data,&foo_detect_client);
- }
-
-Remember, structure `addr_data' is defined by the macros explained above,
-so you do not have to define it yourself.
-
-The i2c_probe function will call the foo_detect_client
-function only for those i2c addresses that actually have a device on
-them (unless a `force' parameter was used). In addition, addresses that
-are already in use (by some other registered client) are skipped.
-
-
-The detect client function (Legacy model)
------------------------------------------
-
-The detect client function is called by i2c_probe. The `kind' parameter
-contains -1 for a probed detection, 0 for a forced detection, or a positive
-number for a forced detection with a chip type forced.
-
-Returning an error different from -ENODEV in a detect function will cause
-the detection to stop: other addresses and adapters won't be scanned.
-This should only be done on fatal or internal errors, such as a memory
-shortage or i2c_attach_client failing.
-
-For now, you can ignore the `flags' parameter. It is there for future use.
