The old driver has two main deficencies: i) No repeated start (Sr) condiction is possible, this makes it unusable e.g. for most SMBus transfers. ii) I/O was done with polling/busy waiting what caused over-/underruns even at light system loads and clock speeds. The new driver overcomes these deficencies and in addition allows for more than one TWI interface. A remaining limitation is the fact, that only one repeated start is possible (two concatenated messages). This limitation is imposed by the hardware. However, this should not be a problem as all common i2c-client communication does not rely on more than one repeated start. v7: Patch 4/5: i) fix bug if internal address > 1 byte ii) send stop when len == 1 (both reported by Carsten Behling) v6: Patch 5/5: support for I2C_SMBUS_BLOCK_DATA transfers. Better use of clk_(un)prepare(). More sensible transfer timeout. v5: Another round of review comments from Ryan Mallon, Felipe Balbi and Russell King: convert twi clk to use .dev_id, cleanups v4: Integrated more review comments from Ryan Mallon and Felipe Balbi: Moved register include file to local include, code cleanups v3: Integrated review comments from Ryan Mallon and Felipe Balbi v2: Fixed whitespace issue Nikolaus Voss (5): drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-at91.c: remove broken driver Replace clk_lookup.con_id with clk_lookup.dev_id entries for twi clk drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-at91.c: add new driver G45 TWI: remove open drain setting for twi function gpios i2c-at91.c: add SMBUS_READ_BLOCK_DATA functionality arch/arm/mach-at91/at91cap9.c | 1 + arch/arm/mach-at91/at91rm9200.c | 1 + arch/arm/mach-at91/at91sam9260.c | 1 + arch/arm/mach-at91/at91sam9261.c | 1 + arch/arm/mach-at91/at91sam9263.c | 1 + arch/arm/mach-at91/at91sam9g45.c | 2 + arch/arm/mach-at91/at91sam9g45_devices.c | 6 - arch/arm/mach-at91/at91sam9rl.c | 2 + arch/arm/mach-at91/include/mach/at91_twi.h | 68 ---- drivers/i2c/busses/Kconfig | 11 +- drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-at91.c | 529 +++++++++++++++++----------- drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-at91.h | 80 +++++ 12 files changed, 408 insertions(+), 295 deletions(-) delete mode 100644 arch/arm/mach-at91/include/mach/at91_twi.h create mode 100644 drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-at91.h -- 1.7.5.4 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-i2c" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
