Ben Hutchings c758e8cffe i2c: Fix sparse warnings for I2C_BOARD_INFO()
Since the first argument to I2C_BOARD_INFO() must be a string constant,
there is no need to parenthesise it, and adding parentheses results in
an invalid initialiser for char[].  gcc obviously accepts this syntax as
an extension, but sparse complains, e.g.:

drivers/net/sfc/boards.c:173:2: warning: array initialized from parenthesized string constant

Therefore, remove the parentheses.

Jean Delvare cd97f39b7c i2c-dev: Clarify the unit of ioctl I2C_TIMEOUT
The unit in which user-space can set the bus timeout value is jiffies
for historical reasons (back when HZ was always 100.) This is however
not good because user-space doesn't know how long a jiffy lasts. The
timeout value should instead be set in a fixed time unit. Given the
original value of HZ, this unit should be 10 ms, for compatibility.

Jean Delvare e1995f65be i2c: Drop I2C_CLASS_ALL
I2C_CLASS_ALL is almost never what bus driver authors really want.
These i2c classes are really only about which devices must be probed,
not what devices can be present. As device drivers get converted to the
new i2c device driver model, only a few device types will keep relying
on probing.

Jean Delvare 4735c98f84 i2c: Add detection capability to new-style drivers
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.

Jean Delvare 3401b2fff3 i2c: Let bus drivers add SPD to their class
Let general purpose I2C/SMBus bus drivers add SPD to their class. Once
this is done, we will be able to tell the eeprom driver to only probe
for SPD EEPROMs and similar on these buses.

Note that I took a conservative approach here, adding I2C_CLASS_SPD to
many drivers that have no idea whether they can host SPD EEPROMs or not.
This is to make sure that the eeprom driver doesn't stop probing buses
where SPD EEPROMs or equivalent live.

So, bus driver maintainers and users should feel free to remove the SPD
class from drivers those buses never have SPD EEPROMs or they don't
want the eeprom driver to bind to them. Likewise, feel free to add the
SPD class to any bus driver I might have missed.

is little reason to use these i2c clients to log messages.

David Brownell 9b766b814d i2c: Stop using the redundant client list
The i2c_adapter.clients list of i2c_client nodes duplicates driver
model state.  This patch starts removing that list, letting us remove
most existing users of those i2c-core lists.

 * The core I2C code now iterates over the driver model's list instead
   of the i2c-internal one in some places where it's safe:
      - Passing a command/ioctl to each client, a mechanims
        used almost exclusively by DVB adapters;
      - Device address checking, in both i2c-core and i2c-dev.

 * Provide i2c_verify_client() to use with driver model iterators.

 * Flag the relevant i2c_adapter and i2c_client fields as deprecated,
   to help prevent new users from appearing.

For the moment the list needs to stick around, since some issues show
up when deleting devices created by legacy I2C drivers.  (They don't
follow standard driver model rules.  Removing those devices can cause
self-deadlocks.)

Jean Delvare 4b2643d7d9 i2c: Fix the i2c_smbus_read_i2c_block_data() prototype
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.

David Brownell d64f73be1b i2c: Add kernel documentation
Generate I2C kerneldoc; fix various glitches and add "context" sections to
that documentation.  Most I2C and SMBus functions still have no kerneldoc.

Let me suggest providing kerneldoc for all the i2c_smbus_*() functions as
a small and mostly self-contained project for anyone so inclined.  :)

Jean Delvare b86a1bc8e3 i2c: Restore i2c_smbus_read_block_data
Add back the i2c_smbus_read_block_data helper function, it is needed
by the upcoming lm93 hardware monitoring driver and possibly others.

Jean Delvare b3e820968a i2c: Make i2c_del_driver a void function
Make i2c_del_driver a void function, like all other driver removal
functions. It always returned 0 even when errors occured, and nobody
ever actually checked the return value anyway. And we cannot fail
a module removal anyway.

Jean Delvare a97f1ed090 i2c: Move i2c-isa-only exported symbol declarations
Move the declaration of i2c-isa-only exported symbols to i2c-isa
itself, that's the best way to ensure nobody will attempt to use them.
Hopefully we'll get rid of the exports themselves soon anyway.

Jean Delvare 12b5053ac5 i2c: Add i2c_new_probed_device()
Add a new helper function to instantiate an i2c device. It is meant as a
replacement for i2c_new_device() when you don't know for sure at which
address your I2C/SMBus device lives. This happens frequently on TV
adapters for example, you know there is a tuner chip on the bus, but
depending on the exact board model and revision, it can live at different
addresses. So, the new i2c_new_probed_device() function will probe the bus
according to a list of addresses, and as soon as one of these addresses
responds, it will call i2c_new_device() on that one address.

This function will make it possible to port the old i2c drivers to the
new model quickly.
