If the I2C adapter that the PD controller is attached to
does not support SMBus protocol, the driver needs to handle
block reads separately. The first byte returned in block
read protocol will show the total number of bytes. It needs
to be stripped away.

This is handled separately in the driver only because right
now we have no way of requesting the used protocol with
regmap-i2c. This is in practice a workaround for what is
really a problem in regmap-i2c. The other option would have
been to register custom regmap, or not use regmap at all,
however, since the solution is very simple, I choose to use
it in this case for convenience. It is easy to remove once
we figure out how to handle this kind of cases in
regmap-i2c.

Sanity check ?

No. Then we would not even need the len parameter. The idea is to
allow reading a number of bytes specified by caller, regardless of the
maximum size of the block.

If I2C_FUNC_I2C is not supported but I2C_FUNC_SMBUS_I2C_BLOCK is, the
regmap core will use i2c_smbus_read_i2c_block_data() and validate the
return length. It will return -EIO if it does not match. That seems
inconsistent.

For some reason I though that regmap-i2c supports
I2C_FUNC_SMBUS_BLOCK_DATA functionality instead of
I2C_FUNC_SMBUS_I2C_BLOCK_DATA. I stand corrected.

Also, I am not sure how you know that at least the minimum
required number of bytes is returned if the number of bytes requested
is larger than the number of bytes returned by the chip. Am I missing
something ?

If the slave chip returns less bytes then what we are asking from it,
the adapter driver should return an error, timeout most likely, no? Or
did I misunderstood the question?


The chip should return the number of bytes it has available and then NAK
the transfer. The chip driver should then report the number of bytes read
to its caller. This is why i2c_smbus_read_block_data() and friends return
not just 0/-errno, but the number of bytes read.

Guenter

In any case, I will add some sanity checks. I just wanted to make sure
we don't add useless checks.

Also, I notice that your patch does not touch tps6598x_read16(). Yet,
according to "TPS65981, TPS65982, and TPS65986 Host Interface Technical
Reference Manual", it appears that the 2-byte command used (0x3f) does
support/use block commands. Is that an oversight or on purpose ?

I did not change it because in my test I did not see the byte count in
the first byte, but I'm questioning myself now... I need to re-check
it. I may have done that test with wrong platform.


Thanks Guenter,
