The container node has a #address-cells property for this very reason. It's
perfectly well-defined how to split up a property containing a large number
of cells into separate values, by using the value of #address-cells. Plus,
the canonical formatting (albeit not enforced by the DT compiler) for a
property that contains an array of entries, each 2 cells in size, would be:
reg = <0 0x1a>, <0 0x40>, <0 0x48>;
rather than:
reg = <0 0x1a 0 0x40 0 0x48>;
... so it's quite simple to make it very human-readable too.
I give in to the flag idea. I also noticed that we'd need another flag
anyhow to mark 10 bit addresses. I am still thinking between using two
address-cells in that case (clean seperation between address and flags)
or to encode the flags as MSB in the current address (all busses will
have same address-cells and child description, less code paths and no
overhead in dtbs).
That being said, for the loopback testcase, the I2C slave framework will
need updates as well. I think I can cook up something. Will be
interesting to see if my hardware can do this. Has the loopback already
been tested on Tegra?
I don't believe that loopback has been tested on Tegra, at least with
upstream SW. I have no idea whether our downstream SW or Silicon
validation team has tested it.
