I wonder what devices do if you do a word read beyond their end address? Perhaps in odd cases we should always fall back to byte reads? > --- > drivers/i2c/i2c-core.c | 60 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ > include/linux/i2c.h | 3 +++ > 2 files changed, 63 insertions(+) > > diff --git a/drivers/i2c/i2c-core.c b/drivers/i2c/i2c-core.c > index 96771ea..55a3455 100644 > --- a/drivers/i2c/i2c-core.c > +++ b/drivers/i2c/i2c-core.c > @@ -2914,6 +2914,66 @@ trace: > } > EXPORT_SYMBOL(i2c_smbus_xfer); > > +/** > + * i2c_smbus_read_i2c_block_data_or_emulated - read block or emulate > + * @client: Handle to slave device > + * @command: Byte interpreted by slave > + * @length: Size of data block; SMBus allows at most 32 bytes > + * @values: Byte array into which data will be read; big enough to hold > + * the data returned by the slave.

Add something here about addressing assumptions. You get odd devices which will give bulk reads of addresses not mapped to a nice linear region when you do byte reads. > + */ > +s32 i2c_smbus_read_i2c_block_data_or_emulated(const struct i2c_client *client, > + u8 command, u8 length, u8 *values) > +{ > + u8 i; > + int status; > + > + if (length > I2C_SMBUS_BLOCK_MAX) > + length = I2C_SMBUS_BLOCK_MAX; > + > + if (i2c_check_functionality(client->adapter, > + I2C_FUNC_SMBUS_READ_I2C_BLOCK)) { > + return i2c_smbus_read_i2c_block_data(client, command, > + length, values); > + } else if (i2c_check_functionality(client->adapter, > + I2C_FUNC_SMBUS_READ_WORD_DATA)) { > + for (i = 0; i < length; i += 2) { > + status = i2c_smbus_read_word_data(client, command + i); > + if (status < 0) > + return status; > + values[i] = status & 0xff; > + if ((i + 1) < length) > + values[i + 1] = status >> 8; > + } > + if (i > length) > + return length; > + return i; > + } else if (i2c_check_functionality(client->adapter, > + I2C_FUNC_SMBUS_READ_BYTE_DATA)) { > + for (i = 0; i < length; i++) { > + status = i2c_smbus_read_byte_data(client, command + i); > + if (status < 0) > + return status; > + values[i] = status; > + } > + return i; > + } > + > + dev_err(&client->adapter->dev, "Unsupported transactions: %d,%d,%d\n", > + I2C_SMBUS_I2C_BLOCK_DATA, I2C_SMBUS_WORD_DATA, > + I2C_SMBUS_BYTE_DATA); > + > + return -EOPNOTSUPP; > +} > +EXPORT_SYMBOL(i2c_smbus_read_i2c_block_data_or_emulated); > + > #if IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_I2C_SLAVE) > int i2c_slave_register(struct i2c_client *client, i2c_slave_cb_t slave_cb) > { > diff --git a/include/linux/i2c.h b/include/linux/i2c.h > index e83a738..faf518d 100644 > --- a/include/linux/i2c.h > +++ b/include/linux/i2c.h > @@ -121,6 +121,9 @@ extern s32 i2c_smbus_read_i2c_block_data(const struct i2c_client *client, > extern s32 i2c_smbus_write_i2c_block_data(const struct i2c_client *client, > u8 command, u8 length, > const u8 *values); > +extern s32 > +i2c_smbus_read_i2c_block_data_or_emulated(const struct i2c_client *client, > + u8 command, u8 length, u8 *values); > #endif /* I2C */ > > /** > -- 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
