Hello everyone,
This series adds support for the TI FPC202 dual-port controller. This is an
unusual kind of device which is used as a low-speed signal aggregator for
various types of SFP-like hardware ports.
The FPC202 exposes an I2C, or SPI (not supported in this series) control
interface, which can be used to access two downstream I2C busses, along
with a set of low-speed GPIO signals for each port. It also has I2C address
translation (ATR) features, which allow multiple I2C devices with the same
address (e.g. SFP EEPROMs at address 0x50) to be accessed from the upstream
control interface on different addresses.
I've chosen to add this driver to the misc subsystem, as it doesn't
strictly belong in either the i2c or gpio sybsystem, and as far as I know
it is the first device of its kind to be added to the kernel.
Along with the FPC202 driver itself, this series also adds support for
dynamic address translation to the i2c-atr module. This allows I2C address
translators to update their translation table on-the-fly when they receive
transactions to unmapped clients. This feature is needed by the FPC202
driver to access up to three logical I2C devices per-port, given that the
FPC202 address translation table only has two address slots.
Best Regards,
Romain
