[PATCH v7 0/2] i2c: add driver for Mellanox BlueField SoC

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

 



Add I2C SMBus driver and device tree bindings documentation.

The Mellanox BlueField is a System-on-Chip (SoC) that combines
Arm cores and ConnectX network adapter technology intended to
accelerate storage network solutions. The Mellanox BlueField
incorporates various I2C devices that are accessed using SMBus
protocol, a variant of the I2C protocol. On storage controllers,
the BlueField SoC is connected to a management controller board,
e.g., BMC via an I2C bus.

An I2C driver running on the Arm side is needed to manage the
hardware I2C controllers. The driver enables a master function
to transfer data back and forth from/to I2C devices, such as
EEPROM parts and implements a slave function to handle the BMC
controller requests.

v6->v7:
	- Fixing kernel coding style issues as suggested by
	Mellanox internal code reviewers.
        - Updating the dependency expression in Kconfig.
        - Fixing various device driver bugs.
        - Adding an entry to MAINTAINERS file.
v5->v6:
        - Fixing kernel coding style issues detected using
        '--strict' flag.
	- Updating the device binding documentation to add
	support for BlueField-2 SoCs.
v4->v5:
        - Fixing device driver bug.
v3->v4:
	- Review of the device binding documentation to
	fix format issue and miscellaneous cleanup.
v2->v3:
	- Various device driver changes and bug fixes.
	- Updating the device property in the device binding
	documentation and file format review.
v1->v2:
        - Various device driver changes and bug fixes.
	- Cleanup of the device binding documentation.
