Jean Delvare 41d9c98fe7 [PATCH] i2c: Drop outdated probe/remove code in i2c-isa
Probe and remove methods are now defined at bus level. No more need to
redefine them at driver level in i2c-isa.

This lets us get rid of these annoying messages:
Driver 'it87-isa' needs updating - please use bus_type methods

Thanks to Nicolas Mailhot for reporting the problem and testing the fix.

Richard Purdie ece5f7b3c4 [ARM] 3237/1: PXA I2C driver updates
Patch from Richard Purdie

This patch adds a check to see if the pxa i2c interface is enabled
before allowing it to be used and resets it if found to be disabled.
This automatically restores the interface if the device has been
suspended and resumed without causing any suspend/resume call ordering
issues.

The patch also fixes a build warning and adds an appropriate module
licence (the module is gpl according to the header).

Benjamin Herrenschmidt a28d3af2a2 [PATCH] 2/5 powerpc: Rework PowerMac i2c part 2
This is the continuation of the previous patch. This one removes the old
PowerMac i2c drivers (i2c-keywest and i2c-pmac-smu) and replaces them
both with a single stub driver that uses the new PowerMac low i2c layer.

Now that i2c-keywest is gone, the low-i2c code is extended to support
interrupt driver transfers. All i2c busses now appear as platform
devices. Compatibility with existing drivers should be maintained as the
i2c bus names have been kept identical, except for the SMU bus but in
that later case, all users has been fixed.

With that patch added, matching a device node to an i2c_adapter becomes
trivial.

Benjamin Herrenschmidt 730745a5c4 [PATCH] 1/5 powerpc: Rework PowerMac i2c part 1
This is the first part of a rework of the PowerMac i2c code. It
completely reworks the "low_i2c" layer. It is now more flexible,
supports KeyWest, SMU and PMU i2c busses, and provides functions to
match device nodes to i2c busses and adapters.

This patch also extends & fix some bugs in the SMU driver related to i2c
support and removes the clock spreading hacks from the pmac feature code
rather than adapting them to the new API since they'll be replaced by
the platform function code completely in patch 3/5

Russell King 9ded96f24c [PATCH] IRQ type flags
Some ARM platforms have the ability to program the interrupt controller to
detect various interrupt edges and/or levels.  For some platforms, this is
critical to setup correctly, particularly those which the setting is dependent
on the device.

Currently, ARM drivers do (eg) the following:

	err = request_irq(irq, ...);

	set_irq_type(irq, IRQT_RISING);

However, if the interrupt has previously been programmed to be level sensitive
(for whatever reason) then this will cause an interrupt storm.

Hence, if we combine set_irq_type() with request_irq(), we can then safely set
the type prior to unmasking the interrupt.  The unfortunate problem is that in
order to support this, these flags need to be visible outside of the ARM
architecture - drivers such as smc91x need these flags and they're
cross-architecture.

Finally, the SA_TRIGGER_* flag passed to request_irq() should reflect the
property that the device would like.  The IRQ controller code should do its
best to select the most appropriate supported mode.

Benjamin Herrenschmidt 51d3082fe6 [PATCH] powerpc: Unify udbg (#2)
This patch unifies udbg for both ppc32 and ppc64 when building the
merged achitecture. xmon now has a single "back end". The powermac udbg
stuff gets enriched with some ADB capabilities and btext output. In
addition, the early_init callback is now called on ppc32 as well,
approx. in the same order as ppc64 regarding device-tree manipulations.
The init sequences of ppc32 and ppc64 are getting closer, I'll unify
them in a later patch.

For now, you can force udbg to the scc using "sccdbg" or to btext using
"btextdbg" on powermacs. I'll implement a cleaner way of forcing udbg
output to something else than the autodetected OF output device in a
later patch.

Mark A. Greer e91c021c48 [PATCH] i2c: i2c-mv64xxx fix transaction abortion
When the i2c-mv64xxx i2c driver is signalled to abort a transaction,
it aborts it immediately by issuing a stop condition on the bus.
This violates the i2c protocol and can cause what appears to be an i2c
bus hang.  This patch delays issuing the stop condition until the i2c
device can reasonably expect a stop condition.

Also includes a minor fixup.

Just about every i2c chip driver sets the I2C_DF_NOTIFY flag, so we

doesn't want to be notified when i2c adapters are added, that driver
can simply omit to set .attach_adapter. This approach is also more
robust as it prevents accidental NULL pointer dereferences.

Jean Delvare 421ef47be2 [PATCH] i2c: SMBus PEC support rewrite, 2 of 3
This is my rewrite of the SMBus PEC support. The original
implementation was known to have bugs (credits go to Hideki Iwamoto
for reporting many of them recently), and was incomplete due to a
conceptual limitation.

The rewrite affects only software PEC. Hardware PEC needs very little
code and is mostly untouched.

Technically, both implementations differ in that the original one
was emulating PEC in software by modifying the contents of an
i2c_smbus_data union (changing the transaction to a different type),
while the new one works one level lower, on i2c_msg structures (working
on message contents). Due to the definition of the i2c_smbus_data union,
not all SMBus transactions could be handled (at least not without
changing the definition of this union, which would break user-space
compatibility), and those which could had to be implemented
individually. At the opposite, adding PEC to an i2c_msg structure
can be done on any SMBus transaction with common code.

Advantages of the new implementation:

* It's about twice as small (from ~136 lines before to ~70 now, only
  counting i2c-core, including blank and comment lines). The memory
  used by i2c-core is down by ~640 bytes (~3.5%).

* Easier to validate, less tricky code. The code being common to all
  transactions by design, the risk that a bug can stay uncovered is
  lower.

* All SMBus transactions have PEC support in I2C emulation mode
  (providing the non-PEC transaction is also implemented). Transactions
  which have no emulation code right now will get PEC support for free
  when they finally get implemented.

* Allows for code simplifications in header files and bus drivers
  (patch follows).

Drawbacks (I guess there had to be at least one):

* PEC emulation for non-PEC capable non-I2C SMBus masters was dropped.
  It was based on SMBus tricks and doesn't quite fit in the new design.
  I don't think it's really a problem, as the benefit was certainly
  not worth the additional complexity, but it's only fair that I at
  least mention it.

Lastly, let's note that the new implementation does slightly affect
compatibility (both in kernel and user-space), but doesn't actually
break it. Some defines will be dropped, but the code can always be
changed in a way that will work with both the old and the new
implementations. It shouldn't be a problem as there doesn't seem to be
many users of SMBus PEC to date anyway.
