Christophe Ricard 35630df68d NFC: st21nfcb: Add driver for STMicroelectronics ST21NFCB NFC chip
Add driver for STMicroelectronics ST21NFCB NFC controller.
ST21NFCB is using NCI protocol and a proprietary low level transport
protocol called NDLC used on top.

NDLC:
The protocol defines 2 types of frame:
- One type carrying NCI data (referred as DATAFRAME frames).
- One type carrying protocol information used for flow control and error
control mechanisms (referred as SUPERVISOR frames).

After each frame transmission to the NFC controller, the device host
SHALL waitfor  an ACK (SUPERVISOR frame) reception before sending a
new frame.
The NFC controller MAY send a frame at anytime to the device host.
The NFC controller MAY send a specific WAIT supervisor frame to indicate
to device host that a NCI data packet has been received but that it could
take significant time before the NFC controller sends an ACK and thus
allows next data reception.

config NFC_ST21NFCB
tristate "STMicroelectronics ST21NFCB NFC driver"
depends on NFC_NCI
default n
---help---
STMicroelectronics ST21NFCB core driver. It implements the chipset
NCI logic and hooks into the NFC kernel APIs. Physical layers will
register against it.
To compile this driver as a module, choose m here. The module will
be called st21nfcb.
Say N if unsure.
config NFC_ST21NFCB_I2C
tristate "NFC ST21NFCB i2c support"
depends on NFC_ST21NFCB && I2C
---help---
This module adds support for the STMicroelectronics st21nfcb i2c interface.
Select this if your platform is using the i2c bus.
If you choose to build a module, it'll be called st21nfcb_i2c.
Say N if unsure.
