It would be great if I could use that code for testing.
One question:
I dont see any of the drivers having ARP support, does that mean all the smbus controllers have ARP implemented in HW?
I looked at intel 82801 smbus controller (thats what I have) datasheet but the ARP support is nowhere to be seen. Does anyone
know any smbus host controllers chip (or specific server) with HW smbus ARP?
this as SMBus ARP is not limited to hardware monitoring devices, it's a
generic SMBus feature.
Sure, I will also post this query in linux-i2c list.
Thanks

It has never been ported. It was more of a hack than anything else, to
test the feature. It never reached a usable state.

Corentin (Cc'd) has been working on this for quite some time, but his
code has some issues remaining if I remember correctly. I was supposed
to review it but could never find the time. Corentin, maybe you can
post your code or send it in private to SP?
BTW, note that the linux-i2c list would be more suitable for discussing
this as SMBus ARP is not limited to hardware monitoring devices, it's a
generic SMBus feature.
