Hi,

Do you know why there is 2 methods of probing i2c [1] and [2], with different 
quirks for eeprom.
Why can't they be merged together ?


Thanks

Matthieu

PS : please keep me in CC


[1]
i2c_detect_address

   /* Make sure the address is valid */
   if (addr < 0x03 || addr > 0x77) {
       dev_warn(&adapter->dev, "Invalid probe address 0x%02x\n",
            addr);
       return -EINVAL;
   }

   /* Skip if already in use */
   if (i2c_check_addr(adapter, addr))
       return 0;

   /* Make sure there is something at this address */
   if (i2c_smbus_xfer(adapter, addr, 0, 0, 0, I2C_SMBUS_QUICK, NULL) < 0)
       return 0;

   /* Prevent 24RF08 corruption */
   if ((addr & ~0x0f) == 0x50)
       i2c_smbus_xfer(adapter, addr, 0, 0, 0, I2C_SMBUS_QUICK, NULL);

[2]
i2c_new_probed_device
       if (addr_list[i] < 0x03 || addr_list[i] > 0x77) {
           dev_warn(&adap->dev, "Invalid 7-bit address "
                "0x%02x\n", addr_list[i]);
           continue;
       }

       /* Check address availability */
       if (i2c_check_addr(adap, addr_list[i])) {
           dev_dbg(&adap->dev, "Address 0x%02x already in "
               "use, not probing\n", addr_list[i]);
           continue;
       }

       /* Test address responsiveness
          The default probe method is a quick write, but it is known
          to corrupt the 24RF08 EEPROMs due to a state machine bug,
          and could also irreversibly write-protect some EEPROMs, so
          for address ranges 0x30-0x37 and 0x50-0x5f, we use a byte
          read instead. Also, some bus drivers don't implement
          quick write, so we fallback to a byte read it that case
          too. */
       if ((addr_list[i] & ~0x07) == 0x30
        || (addr_list[i] & ~0x0f) == 0x50
        || !i2c_check_functionality(adap, I2C_FUNC_SMBUS_QUICK)) {
           union i2c_smbus_data data;

           if (i2c_smbus_xfer(adap, addr_list[i], 0,
                      I2C_SMBUS_READ, 0,
                      I2C_SMBUS_BYTE, &data) >= 0)
               break;
       } else {
           if (i2c_smbus_xfer(adap, addr_list[i], 0,
                      I2C_SMBUS_WRITE, 0,
                      I2C_SMBUS_QUICK, NULL) >= 0)
               break;
       }
