Recently the I2C-controllers slave interface support was added to the kernel I2C subsystem. In this case Linux can be used as, for example, a I2C EEPROM machine. See [1] for details. Other than instantiating the EEPROM-slave device from user-space there is a way to declare the device in dts. In this case firstly the I2C bus controller must support the slave interface. Secondly I2C-slave sub-node of that controller must have "reg"-property with flag I2C_OWN_SLAVE_ADDRESS set (flag is declared in [2]). That flag is declared as (1 << 30), which when set makes dtc unhappy about too big address set for a I2C-slave: Warning (i2c_bus_reg): /example-2/i2c@1120000/eeprom@64: I2C bus unit address format error, expected "40000064" Warning (i2c_bus_reg): /example-2/i2c@1120000/eeprom@64:reg: I2C address must be less than 10-bits, got "0x40000064" Similar problem would have happened if we had set the 10-bit address flag I2C_TEN_BIT_ADDRESS in the "reg"-property. In order to fix the problem we suggest to alter the I2C-bus reg-check algorithm, so one would be aware of the upper bits set. Normally if no flag specified, the 7-bit address is expected in the "reg"-property. If I2C_TEN_BIT_ADDRESS is set, then the 10-bit address check will be performed. The I2C_OWN_SLAVE_ADDRESS flag will be just ignored.
