[U-Boot] [PATCH] cmd_i2c: Provide option for bulk 'i2c write' in one transaction
I2C chips do exist that require a write of some multi-byte data to occur in a single bus transaction (aka atomic transfer), otherwise either the write does not come into effect at all, or normal operation of internal circuitry cannot be guaranteed. The current implementation of the 'i2c write' command (transfer of multiple bytes from a memory buffer) in fact performs a separate transaction for each byte to be written and thus cannot support such types of I2C slave devices. This patch provides an alternative by allowing 'i2c write' to execute the write transfer of the given number of bytes in a single bus transaction if CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BULK_WRITE is defined in the board header (otherwise the old method shall compile).

We might want to do different things depending on the situation.

We might want to > do different things depending on the situation. Agree. I thought about this initially, even about adding a separate command, but then decided that the human device using 'i2c write' with or without the config option would be intelligent enough to know what is being needed and done. From a chip compatibility perspective this is not an issue, since for byte-wise transfers the 'i2c mw' and 'i2c mm' commands still do exist. So I went the easy way :-). > > In fact with driver model's I2C implementation, currently in review, > this logic of splitting things up can be handled in the uclass layer: > > http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/414066/ Right, in the DM context a command line option would be the better solution.
