Thanks for the ack! I had been addressing feedback as I got it on the v0 series, and it seems
I missed out on updating viafb and smscufx to spec-compliant controller/target terminology like
the v0->v1 changelog calls out before posting v1.
For smscufx, I feel phrasing the following line (as an example)
-/* sets up I2C Controller for 100 Kbps, std. speed, 7-bit addr, host,
+/* sets up I2C Controller for 100 Kbps, std. speed, 7-bit addr, *controller*,
would actually impact readability negatively, so I propose to leave smscufx as is.
Why? I don't see much of a difference.
For viafb, I propose making it compliant with the spec using the controller/target terminology and
posting a v2 respin (which I can send out as soon as you say) and ask you to review again.
What do you think?
I think we should adopt the spec's language everywhere. That makes it
possible to grep the spec for terms used in the source code. Using
'host' in smscufx appears to introduce yet another term. If you are
worried about using 'I2C controller' and 'controller' in the same
sentence, you can replace 'I2C controller' with 'DDC channel'. That's
even more precise about the purpose of this code.
Best regards
Thomas
Thanks,
Easwar
