Jan,
Your patch works flawlessly, so I included it. Very nice.
As a partially related note, some of the bus masters record if there are any
devices after every RESET. We could use that for scanning, which would be
even faster.

My idea is to transfer the BUS_select_branch() from BUS_next into
BUS_select.
This should do no harm -- BUS_next is the only place where it is called.
That
way, we could put BUS_select_branch() directly after the BUS_reset().
As BUS_select_branch returns immediately for the backbone, nothing changes
when selecting the backbone. When selecting a branch, BUS_select_branch()
will trigger the Smart-On-Command of that DS2409 *again*, thus generating
a
single reset pulse for the branch.
This should work independent on how deep the DS2409 is located, as with
the
previous algorithm, all switches of the DS2409 up to that last DS2409 in
the
row are already set-up correctly, and all the chips in that branch (and
the
backbone) could receive the previously thrown BUS_reset() and
BUS_select_branch().
As the BUS_next function and therefore, the 'uncached' directories always
used this method to list nodes on branches, I think the attached
minimalistic
patch is safe. I'm not sure how it affects caching, though.
If the thermostat handling is broken now (don't have one to test), I think
BUS_select_branch() could be called safely after it, too. I didn't do it
just
to keep the possiblity to attach the thermostat to a branch, too. Maybe it
works that way?
Kind regards
Jan
