[PATCH v2 0/3] Add parameters for sysfs added I2C devices

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This is a set of patches I posted earlier, it allows you to pass in
parameters when adding I2C devices through sysfs.

I really need this for the IPMI over I2C driver (The SSIF driver)
for a couple of reasons.

The SSIF driver itself needs to take a parameter to tell it's
address on the IPMI bus in case it's not the default.  It's also
nice to be able to pass in debug parameters this way.

Second, the IPMI driver can use SMBus alerts, but if the SMBus
alert device is added via sysfs, there is no way to specify the
interrupt information, thus it's fairly useless.

The first patch adds the ability to have parameters for sysfs added
I2C devices.  The second patch adds interrupt parameters for the
SMBus alert device.  The last is the IPMI SSIF changes, just for
example, I can add those in the IPMI tree.
