I had a Déjà vu when I looked on this patch, as I saw the same issue I pointed to another patch you submitted ;-) So, I ended by not replying to this one. Just to be clear: the same comment I did to the SCCB helpers apply here: https://www.mail-archive.com/linux-media@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/msg130868.html It is a very bad idea to replace an i2c xfer by a pair of i2c send()/recv(), as, if are there any other device at the bus managed by an independent driver, you may end by mangling i2c transfers and eventually cause device malfunctions. I've seen it a lot on media devices that have devices that need constant polling via I2C (e. g. hardware with remote controllers, for example). So, IMO, the best is to push the patch you proposed that adds a new I2C flag: https://patchwork.linuxtv.org/patch/49396/ > Cc: Jacopo Mondi <jacopo+renesas@xxxxxxxxxx> > Cc: Laurent Pinchart <laurent.pinchart@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > Cc: Hans Verkuil <hans.verkuil@xxxxxxxxx> > Cc: Sakari Ailus <sakari.ailus@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > Cc: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > Cc: Wolfram Sang <wsa@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> > Reviewed-by: Jacopo Mondi <jacopo+renesas@xxxxxxxxxx> > Signed-off-by: Akinobu Mita <akinobu.mita@xxxxxxxxx> > --- > * v5 > - Add Reviewed-by: line > > drivers/media/i2c/ov772x.c | 20 ++++++++++++++------ > 1 file changed, 14 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/drivers/media/i2c/ov772x.c b/drivers/media/i2c/ov772x.c > index e255070..b6223bf 100644 > --- a/drivers/media/i2c/ov772x.c > +++ b/drivers/media/i2c/ov772x.c > @@ -542,9 +542,19 @@ static struct ov772x_priv *to_ov772x(struct v4l2_subdev *sd) > return container_of(sd, struct ov772x_priv, subdev); > } > > -static inline int ov772x_read(struct i2c_client *client, u8 addr) > +static int ov772x_read(struct i2c_client *client, u8 addr) > { > - return i2c_smbus_read_byte_data(client, addr); > + int ret; > + u8 val; > + > + ret = i2c_master_send(client, &addr, 1); > + if (ret < 0) > + return ret; > + ret = i2c_master_recv(client, &val, 1); > + if (ret < 0) > + return ret; > + > + return val; > } > > static inline int ov772x_write(struct i2c_client *client, u8 addr, u8 value) > @@ -1255,13 +1265,11 @@ static int ov772x_probe(struct i2c_client *client, > return -EINVAL; > } > > - if (!i2c_check_functionality(adapter, I2C_FUNC_SMBUS_BYTE_DATA | > - I2C_FUNC_PROTOCOL_MANGLING)) { > + if (!i2c_check_functionality(adapter, I2C_FUNC_SMBUS_BYTE_DATA)) { > dev_err(&adapter->dev, > - "I2C-Adapter doesn't support SMBUS_BYTE_DATA or PROTOCOL_MANGLING\n"); > + "I2C-Adapter doesn't support SMBUS_BYTE_DATA\n"); > return -EIO; > } > - client->flags |= I2C_CLIENT_SCCB; > > priv = devm_kzalloc(&client->dev, sizeof(*priv), GFP_KERNEL); > if (!priv) Thanks, Mauro
