Hi! Regarding the subject (and elsewhere) I think of "mux core" as roughly the code in the i2c-mux.c file. So, for me, the "mux core" does not have an address, it is a mux "driver instance" or "device" that sits on the I2C address that you need to share. 2024-05-06 at 13:37, Farouk Bouabid wrote: > Allow the mux core (if it's an i2c device) to have the same address as > a child device.

Use I2C in text, not i2c (applies to other patches as well). > > Signed-off-by: Farouk Bouabid <farouk.bouabid@xxxxxxxxx> > --- > drivers/i2c/i2c-core-base.c | 6 +++++- > drivers/i2c/i2c-mux.c | 25 ++++++++++++++++++++++++- > include/linux/i2c-mux.h | 1 + > include/linux/i2c.h | 7 +++++++ > 4 files changed, 37 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/drivers/i2c/i2c-core-base.c b/drivers/i2c/i2c-core-base.c > index ff5c486a1dbb..ce2425b0486d 100644 > --- a/drivers/i2c/i2c-core-base.c > +++ b/drivers/i2c/i2c-core-base.c > @@ -821,9 +821,13 @@ static int i2c_check_mux_children(struct device *dev, void *addrp) > static int i2c_check_addr_busy(struct i2c_adapter *adapter, int addr) > { > struct i2c_adapter *parent = i2c_parent_is_i2c_adapter(adapter); > + bool skip_check = false; > int result = 0; > > - if (parent) > + if (adapter->quirks && adapter->quirks->flags & I2C_AQ_SKIP_ADDR_CHECK) > + skip_check = adapter->quirks->skip_addr_in_parent == addr; > + > + if (parent && !skip_check) > result = i2c_check_mux_parents(parent, addr); > > if (!result) > diff --git a/drivers/i2c/i2c-mux.c b/drivers/i2c/i2c-mux.c > index 57ff09f18c37..bdb75a130cab 100644 > --- a/drivers/i2c/i2c-mux.c > +++ b/drivers/i2c/i2c-mux.c > @@ -334,7 +334,30 @@ int i2c_mux_add_adapter(struct i2c_mux_core *muxc, > priv->adap.dev.parent = &parent->dev; > priv->adap.retries = parent->retries; > priv->adap.timeout = parent->timeout; > - priv->adap.quirks = parent->quirks; > + /* > + * When creating the adapter, the node devices are checked for i2c address > + * match with other devices on the parent adapter, among which is the mux core itself. > + * If a match is found the node device is not probed successfully. > + * Allow the mux to have the same address as a child device by skipping this check. > + */ > + if (muxc->share_addr_with_children && muxc->dev->type == &i2c_client_type) { > + struct i2c_adapter_quirks *quirks = devm_kzalloc(muxc->dev, > + sizeof(*quirks), GFP_KERNEL); > + struct i2c_client *client = to_i2c_client(muxc->dev); The above section has overly long lines without good reason. Please rewrite as something like this: /* * When creating the adapter, the node devices are checked for I2C * address match with other devices on the parent adapter, among * which is the mux device itself. If a match is found the node * device is not probed successfully. Allow the mux to have the * same address as a child device by skipping this check. */ if (muxc->share_addr_with_children && muxc->dev->type == &i2c_client_type) { struct i2c_client *client = to_i2c_client(muxc->dev); struct i2c_adapter_quirks *quirks; quirks = devm_kzalloc(muxc->dev, sizeof(*quirks), GFP_KERNEL); I also wonder if that second condition (...->type == &i2c_client_type) should be a WARN_ON_ONCE? I don't see how the flag can be set sanely on an adapter that is not itself an I2C client.
