There is own flag for 10bit I2C address. Use it (and likely not
compare at all addr validly like that). This kind of address
validation check is quite unnecessary - and after all if it is wanted
then correct place is somewhere in I2C routines.
Well, to be 100% sure and strict, we should check both, the flag and the
actual address.
We support 7 bit addresses only, no matter which i2c algo is used. So
doing the address check in each i2c routine seems to be unnecessary code
duplication to me ?
I will repeat me, I see it overkill to check address correctness. And
as I said, that one is general validly could be done easily in I2C
core - so why the hell you wish make it just only for em28xx ?
I am quite sure if that kind of address validness are saw important
they are already implemented by I2C core.
Make patch for I2C which does that address validation against client
10BIT flag and sent it to the mailing list for discussion.
The I2C core doesn't know about the capabilities of the adapter.
Hence it doesn't know if ten bit addresses will work (the same as with
the message size constraints).
All it does ist to check the client for I2C_CLIENT_TEN && addr > 0x7f
once, when it is instanciated with a call to i2c_new_device().
But we don't use this function in em28xx and the same applies to many
other drivers as well.
Apart from that, the client address and flags can change anytime later
(e.g. when probing devices).
yes, it does not need to know if adapter supports 10 bit or not, or how
many bytes adapter could send at once. It is up to adapter to check those.
But it could check if client tries to send using invalid address (client
says it is 7BIT, but address is 10BIT), just situation you are adding to
em28xx adapter.
If you are worried flags and address could change during operation, I2C
core could check it too. Every driver I have seen are using I2C routines
to send messages, and if there is check lets say eg. inside
i2c_transfer() then it benefits all the others than em28xx. That is NOT
em28xx *only* issue, it is common for all of our drivers. As it is
common, adding check for each driver sounds wrong. General check should
be done in general level, and hw specific issues are for driver.
But if you hate the check, I can kick it out.
The risk that it will cause any problems in practice is small.
Mostly, I am trying to explain you are trying to add that check to wrong
place. Need of whole check is another issue.
