i2c/chips: Move max6875 to drivers/misc/eeprom

2009-06-15T16:01:49+00:00

This driver only reads the user EEPROM of that chip, so we can move it to the eeprom-directory in order to further clean up (and later remove) drivers/i2c/chips. The Kconfig text was updated to match the current functionality, dropping the meanwhile obsoleted parts. Defconfigs have been adapted.

i2c: Convert the max6875 driver to a new-style i2c driver

2008-07-16T17:30:07+00:00

The new-style max6875 driver implements the optional detect() callback to cover the use cases of the legacy driver. I'm curious if anyone really needs this though, so it might be removed in the feature. Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare

i2c: Clean up old chip drivers

2008-07-14T20:38:36+00:00

Clean up old i2c chip drivers: * Name the i2c_client "client" instead of "new_client". * Drop useless initializations to 0. Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare

i2c/max6875: Really prevent 24RF08 corruption

2008-05-18T18:49:41+00:00

i2c-core takes care of the possible corruption of 24RF08 chips for quite some times, so device devices no longer need to do it. And they really should not, as applying the prevention twice voids it. I thought that I had fixed all drivers long ago but apparently I had missed that one. Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare Cc: Ben Gardner

i2c: Fix the i2c_smbus_read_i2c_block_data() prototype

2007-07-12T12:12:29+00:00

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. Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare

sysfs: add parameter "struct bin_attribute *" in .read/.write methods for sysfs binary attributes

2007-07-11T23:09:09+00:00

Well, first of all, I don't want to change so many files either. What I do: Adding a new parameter "struct bin_attribute *" in the .read/.write methods for the sysfs binary attributes. In fact, only the four lines change in fs/sysfs/bin.c and include/linux/sysfs.h do the real work. But I have to update all the files that use binary attributes to make them compatible with the new .read and .write methods. I'm not sure if I missed any. :( Why I do this: For a sysfs attribute, we can get a pointer pointing to the struct attribute in the .show/.store method, while we can't do this for the binary attributes. I don't know why this is different, but this does make it not so handy to use the binary attributes as the regular ones. So I think this patch is reasonable. :) Who benefits from it: The patch that exposes ACPI tables in sysfs requires such an improvement. All the table binary attributes share the same .read method. Parameter "struct bin_attribute *" is used to get the table signature and instance number which are used to distinguish different ACPI table binary attributes. Without this parameter, we need to offer different .read methods for different ACPI table binary attributes. This is impossible as there are various ACPI tables on different platforms, and we don't know what they are until they are loaded. Signed-off-by: Zhang Rui Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

sysfs: kill unnecessary attribute->owner

2007-07-11T23:09:06+00:00

sysfs is now completely out of driver/module lifetime game. After deletion, a sysfs node doesn't access anything outside sysfs proper, so there's no reason to hold onto the attribute owners. Note that often the wrong modules were accounted for as owners leading to accessing removed modules. This patch kills now unnecessary attribute->owner. Note that with this change, userland holding a sysfs node does not prevent the backing module from being unloaded. For more info regarding lifetime rule cleanup, please read the following message. http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/510293 (tweaked by Greg to not delete the field just yet, to make it easier to merge things properly.)
