b119dc3f99 i2c: Migration aids for i2c_adapter.dev removal
Flag i2c_adapter.dev for removal after userspace tools get upgraded, and
include a near-term code migration aid to facilitate this:

 - The class device gets the name attribute it should have had.  This
   was previously (wrongly) associated with the i2c_adapter.dev node.
   Sysfs based tools and libraries can start converting right away.

 - Issue a warning for legacy adapter drivers that don't provide any
   physical device node; so systems with those drivers will know to
   fix this problem earlier.

This is one of a series of patches to help the I2C stack become a better
citizen of the Linux Driver Model world.

6ea23039cb i2c: Add support for nested i2c bus locking
This patch adds the 'level' field into the i2c_adapter structure, which is 
used to represent the 'logical' level of nesting for the purposes of 
lockdep. This field is then used in the i2c_transfer() function, to 
acquire the per-adapter bus_lock with correct nesting level.

77ed74da26 [PATCH] i2c: Prevent deadlock on i2c client registration
Delay the call to adapter->client_register() until after we are
certain that the client registration is a success. At this point the
client is fully initialized and we no longer hold the adapter->clist
mutex, so this should prevent the deadlocks if the client_register()
callback needs to take that mutex too, as is the case for the bttv
driver.

This fixes bug #7234.

change the client usage count behavior from the old I2C_CLIENT_ALLOW_USE

421ef47be2 [PATCH] i2c: SMBus PEC support rewrite, 2 of 3
This is my rewrite of the SMBus PEC support. The original
implementation was known to have bugs (credits go to Hideki Iwamoto
for reporting many of them recently), and was incomplete due to a
conceptual limitation.

The rewrite affects only software PEC. Hardware PEC needs very little
code and is mostly untouched.

Technically, both implementations differ in that the original one
was emulating PEC in software by modifying the contents of an
i2c_smbus_data union (changing the transaction to a different type),
while the new one works one level lower, on i2c_msg structures (working
on message contents). Due to the definition of the i2c_smbus_data union,
not all SMBus transactions could be handled (at least not without
changing the definition of this union, which would break user-space
compatibility), and those which could had to be implemented
individually. At the opposite, adding PEC to an i2c_msg structure
can be done on any SMBus transaction with common code.

Advantages of the new implementation:

* It's about twice as small (from ~136 lines before to ~70 now, only
  counting i2c-core, including blank and comment lines). The memory
  used by i2c-core is down by ~640 bytes (~3.5%).

* Easier to validate, less tricky code. The code being common to all
  transactions by design, the risk that a bug can stay uncovered is
  lower.

* All SMBus transactions have PEC support in I2C emulation mode
  (providing the non-PEC transaction is also implemented). Transactions
  which have no emulation code right now will get PEC support for free
  when they finally get implemented.

* Allows for code simplifications in header files and bus drivers
  (patch follows).

Drawbacks (I guess there had to be at least one):

* PEC emulation for non-PEC capable non-I2C SMBus masters was dropped.
  It was based on SMBus tricks and doesn't quite fit in the new design.
  I don't think it's really a problem, as the benefit was certainly
  not worth the additional complexity, but it's only fair that I at
  least mention it.

Lastly, let's note that the new implementation does slightly affect
compatibility (both in kernel and user-space), but doesn't actually
break it. Some defines will be dropped, but the code can always be
changed in a way that will work with both the old and the new
implementations. It shouldn't be a problem as there doesn't seem to be
many users of SMBus PEC to date anyway.

30dac74697 [PATCH] i2c: Drop I2C_SMBUS_I2C_BLOCK_MAX
Drop I2C_SMBUS_I2C_BLOCK_MAX, use I2C_SMBUS_BLOCK_MAX instead.

I2C_SMBUS_I2C_BLOCK_MAX has always been defined to the same value as
I2C_SMBUS_BLOCK_MAX, and this will never change: setting it to a lower
value would make no sense, setting it to a higher value would break
i2c_smbus_data compatibility. There is no point in changing
i2c_smbus_data to support larger block transactions in SMBus mode, as
no SMBus hardware supports more than 32 byte blocks. Thus, for larger
transactions, direct I2C transfers are the way to go.

9480e307cd [PATCH] DRIVER MODEL: Get rid of the obsolete tri-level suspend/resume callbacks
In PM v1, all devices were called at SUSPEND_DISABLE level.  Then
all devices were called at SUSPEND_SAVE_STATE level, and finally
SUSPEND_POWER_DOWN level.  However, with PM v2, to maintain
compatibility for platform devices, I arranged for the PM v2
suspend/resume callbacks to call the old PM v1 suspend/resume
callbacks three times with each level in order so that existing
drivers continued to work.

Since this is obsolete infrastructure which is no longer necessary,
we can remove it.  Here's an (untested) patch to do exactly that.

4c9337da37 [PATCH] I2C: Centralize 24RF08 corruption prevention
The 24RF08 corruption would better be prevented at i2c-core level than
at chip driver level, for several reasons:
* The second quick write should happen as soon as possible after the
  first one, so as to limit the risk that another command is issued on
  the bus inbetween, causing the corruption.
* As a matter of fact, the protection code at driver level was reworked
  at least three times already, which proves how hard it is to get it
  right there, while it's straightforward at i2c-core level.
* It's easy to add a new driver that would need the protection, and
  forget to add it. This did happen already.
* As additional probing addresses can be passed to most i2c chip drivers
  as module parameters, virtually every i2c chip driver would need the
  protection if we want to be really safe.
* Why duplicate code when we can easily avoid it?

a89ba0bc02 [PATCH] I2C: Rewrite i2c_probe
i2c_probe was quite complex and slow, so I rewrote it in a more
efficient and hopefully clearer way.

Note that this slightly changes the way the module parameters are
handled. This shouldn't change anything for the most common cases
though.

For one thing, the function now respects the order of the parameters
for address probing. It used to always do lower addresses first. The
new approach gives the user more control.

For another, ignore addresses don't overrule probe addresses anymore.
This could have been restored the way it was at the cost of a few more
lines of code, but I don't think it's worth it. Both lists are given
as module parameters, so a user would be quite silly to specify the
same addresses in both lists. The normal addresses list is the only
one that isn't controlled by a module parameter, thus is the only one
the user may reasonably want to remove an address from.

Another significant change is the fact that i2c_probe() will no more
stop when a detection function returns -ENODEV. Just because a driver
found a chip it doesn't support isn't a valid reason to stop all
probings for this one driver. This closes the long standing lm_sensors
ticket #1807.

  http://www2.lm-sensors.nu/~lm78/readticket.cgi?ticket=1807

I updated the documentation accordingly.

In terms of algorithmic complexity, the new code is way better. If
I is the ignore address count, P the probe address count, N the
normal address count and F the force address count, the old code
was doing 128 * (F + I + P + N) iterations max, while the new code
does F + P + ((I+1) * N) iterations max. For the most common case
where F, I and P are empty, this is down from 128 * N to N.

9fc6adfa9a [PATCH] hwmon: hwmon vs i2c, second round (01/11)
Add support for kind-forced addresses to i2c_probe, like i2c_detect
has for (essentially) hardware monitoring drivers.

Note that this change will slightly increase the size of the drivers
using I2C_CLIENT_INSMOD, with no immediate benefit. This is a
requirement if we want to merge i2c_probe and i2c_detect though, and
seems a reasonable price to pay in comparison with the previous
cleanups which saved much more than that (such as the i2c-isa cleanup
or the i2c address ranges removal.)

815f55f280 [PATCH] I2C: Remove redundancy from i2c-core.c
Call i2c_transfer() from i2c_master_send() and i2c_master_recv() to
avoid the redundant code that was in all three functions.  It also
removes unnecessary debug statements as suggested by Jean Delvare.

This is important for the non-blocking interfaces because they will
have to handle a non-blocking interface in this area.  Having it in
one place greatly simplifies the changes.

b3d5496ea5 [PATCH] I2C: Kill address ranges in non-sensors i2c chip drivers
Some months ago, you killed the address ranges mechanism from all
sensors i2c chip drivers (both the module parameters and the in-code
address lists). I think it was a very good move, as the ranges can
easily be replaced by individual addresses, and this allowed for
significant cleanups in the i2c core (let alone the impressive size
shrink for all these drivers).

Unfortunately you did not do the same for non-sensors i2c chip drivers.
These need the address ranges even less, so we could get rid of the
ranges here as well for another significant i2c core cleanup. Here comes
a patch which does just that. Since the process is exactly the same as
what you did for the other drivers set already, I did not split this one
in parts.

A documentation update is included.

The change saves 308 bytes in the i2c core, and an average 1382 bytes
for chip drivers which use I2C_CLIENT_INSMOD, 126 bytes for those which
do not.

This change is required if we want to merge the sensors and non-sensors
i2c code (and we want to do this).

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
