Francois Romieu e797637f4c [PATCH] sis190: basic sis191 support
The sis191 is the gigabit brother of the sis190. SiS's driver suggests
that the register set is backward compatible: this should hopefully
give a basic driver.

The device should allow the usual features from a modern ethernet
adapter (802.1q, SG, Jumbo frames, TSO, checksum offload). So far
the relevant register layout is not documented. SiS's driver does
not provide these features either (at least not for Linux).

Francois Romieu 6614a6dc6e [PATCH] sis190: make 10Mbps the default when handling the StationControl register
This patch does three things:
- widen the access to the StationControl register (note the SIS_W16
  versus SIS_W32 change);
- default to 10Mbps half duplex when the LPA can not be evaluated
  (reg31->ctl is identical for both). It can be argued that it makes
  sense as the lowest common denominator when everything else failed.
  Btw it works better than the current code. :o)
- remove some enums: they do not document anymore.

Jim Cromie 694fa056a6 [PATCH] hwmon: (2/3) pc87360 driver update
pc87360: number-skew to init

The temp, therm, fan, pwm callbacks all have an offset skew in the code
which accommodates attribute numbering conventions under
/sys/bus/i2c/devices/9191-6620/ (ie they start at 1)

This patch moves that skew into the declaration, and out of the
functions (except for therm, where we simplify from 2 skews to 1). The
declarative skew is clearer, less error-prone, and more efficient.

The use of 11+offset-4 below reflects the fact that the sysfs numbering
of these units is 4, 5, 6, but they use internal VLM units 11, 12, 13 to
measure the thermistor voltages.

There's one remaining skew factor, in *_crit callbacks below, because
there are no critical thresholds for voltages 0-10, only for those
supporting the thermistors.

Jean Delvare b280dab6d6 [PATCH] I2C: Drop probe parameter of i2c-keywest
The i2c-keywest driver has a "probe" module parameter which enables bus
scanning at load time. This can be done in userspace with the i2cdetect
tool (part of the lm_sensors package) instead. What's more, i2cdetect
gives more control on the way the bus is scanned, and is safer
(i2c-keywest currently scans reserved addresses and doesn't properly
handle the famous 24RF08 corruption case.)

Thus, I would propose that this module parameter be simply dropped.

[2], so I think we can get rid of them, as they tend to make the code
harder to read and longer to preprocess/compile for no more benefit.

I'd hope nobody seriously attempts to keep media/video driver compatible
across Linux trees anymore, BTW.

Jean Delvare 1684a98430 [PATCH] I2C: Kill i2c_algorithm.id (6/7)
In theory, there should be no more users of I2C_ALGO_* at this point.
However, it happens that several drivers were using I2C_ALGO_* for
adapter ids, so we need to correct these before we can get rid of all
the I2C_ALGO_* definitions.

Note that this also fixes a bug in media/video/tvaudio.c:

	/* don't attach on saa7146 based cards,
	   because dedicated drivers are used */
	if ((adap->id & I2C_ALGO_SAA7146))
		return 0;

This test was plain broken, as it would succeed for many more adapters
than just the saa7146: any those id would share at least one bit with
the saa7146 id. We are really lucky that the few other adapters we want
this driver to work with did not fulfill that condition.

Jean Delvare e51cc6b3a3 [PATCH] I2C: Kill i2c_algorithm.id (2/7)
Use the adapter id rather than the algorithm id to detect the i2c-isa
pseudo-adapter. This saves one level of dereferencing, and the
algorithm ids will soon be gone anyway.

Jean Delvare 975185880d [PATCH] I2C: Kill i2c_algorithm.name (1/7)
The name member of the i2c_algorithm is never used, although all
drivers conscientiously fill it. We can drop it completely, this
structure doesn't need to have a name.

Jean Delvare 4c9337da37 [PATCH] I2C: Centralize 24RF08 corruption prevention
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?

Jean Delvare a89ba0bc02 [PATCH] I2C: Rewrite i2c_probe
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.
