2006-09-26i2c-stub: Chip address as a module parameterJean Delvare
i2c-stub: Chip address as a module parameter Add a mandatory chip_addr parameter to i2c-stub. This parameter defines to which chip address the driver will respond, instead of reponding to all addresses as before. The idea is to prevent the users from loading i2c-stub at random and being then confused by the results of sensors-detect or other user-space tools.

Add support for the new nForce4 MCP51 (also known as nForce 410 or 430) and nForce4 MCP55 to the i2c-nforce2 driver. Some code changes were required because the base I/O address registers have changed in these versions. Standard BARs are now being used, while the original nForce2 chips used non-standard ones.

2006-06-22[PATCH] I2C: i2c-piix4: Remove the fix_hstcfg parameterRudolf Marek
This patch removes the fix_hstcfg option from the driver and related SMBus Interrupt Select register magic because now we know what are valid values for this register. This patch updates the documentation and adds new IRQ mode check so we are sure not to miss any new "unusual" value. The PCI quirk for users of fix_hstcfg was not developed because the chipset lacks of subsystem ID registers and DMI is stated "To be filled". Impact to existing systems is minimal because the problem showed up on motherboards like 10 years back. On the other hand users of newer Serverworks and HT1000 systems won't be misleaded by the message suggesting to try the fix_hstcfg any more.

2006-04-14[PATCH] i2c-parport: Make type parameter mandatoryMark M. Hoffman
This patch forces the user to specify what type of adapter is present when loading i2c-parport or i2c-parport-light. If none is specified, the driver init simply fails - instead of assuming adapter type 0. This alleviates the sometimes lengthy boot time delays which can be caused by accidentally building one of these into a kernel along with several i2c slave drivers that have lengthy probe routines (e.g. hwmon drivers).

2006-01-05[PATCH] i2c: Rework client usage count, 3 of 3Jean Delvare
Do not limit the usage count of i2c clients to 1. In other words, change the client usage count behavior from the old I2C_CLIENT_ALLOW_USE to the old I2C_CLIENT_ALLOW_MULTIPLE_USE. The rationale is that no driver actually needs the limiting behavior, and the unlimiting behavior is slightly easier to implement. Update the documentation to reflect this change.

2006-01-05[PATCH] i2c: Drop i2c_driver.flags, 2 of 3Jean Delvare
Just about every i2c chip driver sets the I2C_DF_NOTIFY flag, so we can simply make it the default and drop the flag. If any driver really doesn't want to be notified when i2c adapters are added, that driver can simply omit to set .attach_adapter.

The big i2c-viapro SMBus driver update which went into 2.6.14-git1 introduced a few minor issues.

2005-09-05[PATCH] I2C: Centralize 24RF08 corruption preventionJean Delvare
The 24RF08 corruption would better be prevented at i2c-core level than at chip driver level, for several reasons: * The second quick write should happen as soon as possible after the first one, so as to limit the risk that another command is issued on the bus inbetween, causing the corruption. * As a matter of fact, the protection code at driver level was reworked at least three times already, which proves how hard it is to get it right there, while it's straightforward at i2c-core level. * It's easy to add a new driver that would need the protection, and forget to add it. This did happen already. * As additional probing addresses can be passed to most i2c chip drivers as module parameters, virtually every i2c chip driver would need the protection if we want to be really safe. * Why duplicate code when we can easily avoid it?

2005-09-05[PATCH] I2C: Rewrite i2c_probeJean Delvare
i2c_probe was quite complex and slow, so I rewrote it in a more efficient and hopefully clearer way. Note that this slightly changes the way the module parameters are handled. This shouldn't change anything for the most common cases though. For one thing, the function now respects the order of the parameters for address probing. It used to always do lower addresses first. The new approach gives the user more control. For another, ignore addresses don't overrule probe addresses anymore. This could have been restored the way it was at the cost of a few more lines of code, but I don't think it's worth it. Both lists are given as module parameters, so a user would be quite silly to specify the same addresses in both lists. The normal addresses list is the only one that isn't controlled by a module parameter, thus is the only one the user may reasonably want to remove an address from. Another significant change is the fact that i2c_probe() will no more stop when a detection function returns -ENODEV. Just because a driver found a chip it doesn't support isn't a valid reason to stop all probings for this one driver. This closes the long standing lm_sensors ticket #1807. http://www2.lm-sensors.nu/~lm78/readticket.cgi?ticket=1807 I updated the documentation accordingly. In terms of algorithmic complexity, the new code is way better. If I is the ignore address count, P the probe address count, N the normal address count and F the force address count, the old code was doing 128 * (F + I + P + N) iterations max, while the new code does F + P + ((I+1) * N) iterations max. For the most common case where F, I and P are empty, this is down from 128 * N to N. Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
2005-09-05[PATCH] hwmon: hwmon vs i2c, second round (07/11)Jean Delvare
The only part left in i2c-sensor is the VRM/VRD/VID handling code. This is in no way related to i2c, so it doesn't belong there. Move the code to hwmon, where it belongs. Note that not all hardware monitoring drivers do VRM/VRD/VID operations, so less drivers depend on hwmon-vid than there were depending on i2c-sensor.

2005-09-05[PATCH] hwmon: hwmon vs i2c, second round (06/11)Jean Delvare
The only thing left in i2c-sensor.h are module parameter definition macros. It's only an extension of what i2c.h offers, and this extension is not sensors-specific. As a matter of fact, a few non-sensors drivers use them. So we better merge them in i2c.h, and get rid of i2c-sensor.h altogether.
