I2C (pronounce: I-squared-C) is a slow serial bus protocol used in
many micro controller applications and developed by Philips. SMBus,
or System Management Bus is a subset of the I2C protocol. More
information is contained in the directory <file:Documentation/i2c/>,
especially in the file called "summary" there.
Both I2C and SMBus are supported here. You will need this for
hardware sensors support, and also for Video For Linux support.
If you want I2C support, you should say Y here and also to the
specific driver for your bus adapter(s) below.
This I2C support can also be built as a module. If so, the module
will be called i2c-core.
if I2C
i2c: Add i2c_board_info and i2c_new_device() This provides partial support for new-style I2C driver binding. It builds on "struct i2c_board_info" declarations that identify I2C devices on a given board. This is needed on systems with I2C devices that can't be fully probed and/or autoconfigured, such as many embedded Linux configurations where the way a given I2C device is wired may affect how it must be used. There are two models for declaring such devices: * LATE -- using a public function i2c_new_device(). This lets modules declare I2C devices found *AFTER* a given I2C adapter becomes available. For example, a PCI card could create adapters giving access to utility chips on that card, and this would be used to associate those chips with those adapters. * EARLY -- from arch_initcall() level code, using a non-exported function i2c_register_board_info(). This copies the declarations *BEFORE* such an i2c_adapter becomes available, arranging that i2c_new_device() will be called later when i2c-core registers the relevant i2c_adapter. For example, arch/.../.../board-*.c files would declare the I2C devices along with their platform data, and I2C devices would behave much like PNPACPI devices. (That is, both enumerate from board-specific tables.) To match the exported i2c_new_device(), the previously-private function i2c_unregister_device() is now exported. Pending later patches using these new APIs, this is effectively a NOP. Signed-off-by: David Brownell <dbrownell@users.sourceforge.net> Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>

config I2C_BOARDINFO
boolean
default y
config I2C_COMPAT
boolean "Enable compatibility bits for old user-space"
default y
help
Say Y here if you intend to run lm-sensors 3.1.1 or older, or any
other user-space package which expects i2c adapters to be class
devices. If you don't know, say Y.
config I2C_CHARDEV
tristate "I2C device interface"
help
Say Y here to use i2c-* device files, usually found in the /dev
directory on your system. They make it possible to have user-space
programs use the I2C bus. Information on how to do this is
contained in the file <file:Documentation/i2c/dev-interface>.
This support is also available as a module. If so, the module
will be called i2c-dev.
config I2C_MUX
tristate "I2C bus multiplexing support"
depends on HAS_IOMEM
help
Say Y here if you want the I2C core to support the ability to
handle multiplexed I2C bus topologies, by presenting each
multiplexed segment as a I2C adapter.
This support is also available as a module. If so, the module
will be called i2c-mux.
source drivers/i2c/muxes/Kconfig
config I2C_HELPER_AUTO
bool "Autoselect pertinent helper modules"
default y
help
Some I2C bus drivers require so-called "I2C algorithm" modules
to work. These are basically software-only abstractions of generic
I2C interfaces. This option will autoselect them so that you don't
have to care.
Unselect this only if you need to enable additional helper
modules, for example for use with external I2C bus drivers.
In doubt, say Y.
config I2C_SMBUS
tristate "SMBus-specific protocols" if !I2C_HELPER_AUTO
help
Say Y here if you want support for SMBus extensions to the I2C
specification. At the moment, the only supported extension is
the SMBus alert protocol.
This support is also available as a module. If so, the module
will be called i2c-smbus.

help
This module may be useful to developers of SMBus client drivers,
especially for certain kinds of sensor chips.
If you do build this module, be sure to read the notes and warnings
in <file:Documentation/i2c/i2c-stub>.
If you don't know what to do here, definitely say N.
config I2C_DEBUG_CORE
bool "I2C Core debugging messages"
help
Say Y here if you want the I2C core to produce a bunch of debug
messages to the system log. Select this if you are having a
problem with I2C support and want to see more of what is going on.
config I2C_DEBUG_ALGO
bool "I2C Algorithm debugging messages"
help
Say Y here if you want the I2C algorithm drivers to produce a bunch
of debug messages to the system log. Select this if you are having
a problem with I2C support and want to see more of what is going
on.
config I2C_DEBUG_BUS
