2019-07-31docs: w1: convert to ReST and add to the kAPI group of docsMauro Carvalho Chehab
The 1wire documentation was written with w1 developers in mind, so, it makes sense to add it together with the driver-api set. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab+samsung@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>

2014-05-27w1: optional bundling of netlink kernel repliesDavid Fries
Applications can submit a set of commands in one packet to the kernel, and in some cases it is required such as reading the temperature sensor results. This adds an option W1_CN_BUNDLE to the flags of cn_msg to request the kernel to reply in one packet for efficiency. The cn_msg flags now check for unknown flag values and return an error if one is seen. See "Proper handling of unknown flags in system calls" http://lwn.net/Articles/588444/ This corrects the ack values returned as per the protocol standard, namely the original ack for status messages and seq + 1 for all others such as the data returned from a read. Some of the common variable names have been standardized as follows. struct cn_msg *cn struct w1_netlink_msg *msg struct w1_netlink_cmd *cmd struct w1_master *dev When an argument and a function scope variable would collide, add req_ to the argument.
