From: Hugo Villeneuve <hvilleneuve@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Hello, this patch series splits the SPI/I2C parts for the sc16is7xx driver into separate source files (and separate I2C/SPI drivers). These changes are based on suggestions made by Andy Shevchenko following this discussion: Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/CAHp75VebCZckUrNraYQj9k=Mrn2kbYs1Lx26f5-8rKJ3RXeh-w@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/ The patches are multiple, simply to facilitate the review process. In the end, they could be merged into a single patch. This patch series depends on the the following patch (in linux-next/stable): commit f7b487648986 ("lib/find: add atomic find_bit() primitives") I have tested the changes on a custom board with two SC16IS752 DUART over a SPI interface using a Variscite IMX8MN NANO SOM. The four UARTs are configured in RS-485 mode. I did not test the changes on a real SC16is7xx using the I2C interface. But I slighly modified the driver to be able to simulate an I2C device using i2c-stub. I was then able to instantiate a virtual I2C device without disturbing existing connection/communication between real SPI devices on /dev/ttySC0 and /dev/ttySC2 (using a loopback cable). Thank you.
