Why is i2c_set_bus_num() not enough for you? Why introducing a new
API? If another uses this PMIC behind a i2c mux, this driver maybe
not work correctly.
As I explained earlier, I think requiring users to manually micro-manage
the I2C busses is a bad idea. It's very tedious and error prone. It does
I fully aggree with you.
also mean that every patch needs to be carefully checked that the I2C
API is used correctly. The intent of the i2c_client API was to introduce
a higher-level object that people can use and that does the bulk of the
work behind the scenes rather than duplicating it all over the place. It
I understand you, but why not fixing the current API, so all can
provide from your work?
is true that perhaps it currently doesn't work well with I2C muxes. But
the advantage is that when it does, it does so for everybody that uses
it.
Please fix the i2c_read/write functions, and it works for free with
i2c muxes!
On my ToDo list:
- Fix all old style i2c driver
- make i2c_set_bus_num() static, and add to i2c_read/write()
the new function parameter "bus" ...
- get rid of HARD_I2C
- remove all i2c_init() calls, as they no longer needed
- remove all oldstyle defines, functions, structs ...
- introduce a deinit() functions for i2c adapters, so if we switch
to another i2c bus, we deactivate the current i2c hw adapter. So
if we boot an OS, we have all i2c hw adapters deactivated.
bye,
Heiko
