b31366f439 i2c: i2c_adapter devices need no driver
Kill i2c_adapter_driver as it doesn't make sense and it prevents
further i2c-core cleanups. i2c_adapter devices are virtual devices
(ex-class devices) and as such they don't need a driver.

fccb56e4d8 i2c: Kill i2c_adapter.class_dev
Kill i2c_adapter.class_dev. Instead, set the class of i2c_adapter.dev
to i2c_adapter_class, so that a symlink will be created for every
i2c_adapter in /sys/class/i2c-adapter.

The same change must be mirrored to i2c-isa as it duplicates some
of the i2c-core functionalities.

User-space tools and libraries might need some adjustments. In
particular, libsensors from lm_sensors 2.10.3 or later is required for
proper discovery of i2c adapter names after this change.

f37dd80ac2 i2c: Add driver suspend/resume/shutdown support
Driver model updates for the I2C core:

 - Add new suspend(), resume(), and shutdown() methods.  Use them in the
   standard driver model style; document them.

 - Minor doc updates to highlight zero-initialized fields in drivers, and
   the driver model accessors for "clientdata".

If any i2c drivers were previously using the old suspend/resume calls
in "struct driver", they were getting warning messages ... and will
now no longer work.  Other than that, this patch changes no behaviors;
and it lets I2C drivers use conventional PM and shutdown support.

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.

cf02df7702 [PATCH] i2c: Rework client usage count, 3 of 3
Do not limit the usage count of i2c clients to 1. In other words,
change the client usage count behavior from the old I2C_CLIENT_ALLOW_USE
to the old I2C_CLIENT_ALLOW_MULTIPLE_USE. The rationale is that no
driver actually needs the limiting behavior, and the unlimiting
behavior is slightly easier to implement.

4e57b68178 [PATCH] fix missing includes
I recently picked up my older work to remove unnecessary #includes of
sched.h, starting from a patch by Dave Jones to not include sched.h
from module.h. This reduces the number of indirect includes of sched.h
by ~300. Another ~400 pointless direct includes can be removed after
this disentangling (patch to follow later).
However, quite a few indirect includes need to be fixed up for this.

In order to feed the patches through -mm with as little disturbance as
possible, I've split out the fixes I accumulated up to now (complete for
i386 and x86_64, more archs to follow later) and post them before the real
patch.  This way this large part of the patch is kept simple with only
adding #includes, and all hunks are independent of each other.  So if any
hunk rejects or gets in the way of other patches, just drop it.  My scripts
will pick it up again in the next round.

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.

I2C_DEVNAME and i2c_clientname were introduced in 2.5.68 [1] to help
media/video driver authors who wanted their code to be compatible with

[2], so I think we can get rid of them, as they tend to make the code
harder to read and longer to preprocess/compile for no more benefit.

I'd hope nobody seriously attempts to keep media/video driver compatible
across Linux trees anymore, BTW.

Add support for kind-forced addresses to i2c_probe, like i2c_detect

Note that this change will slightly increase the size of the drivers

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.)

570aefc361 [PATCH] I2C: Separate non-i2c hwmon drivers from i2c-core (9/9)
Move the definitions of i2c_is_isa_client and i2c_is_isa_adapter from
i2c.h to i2c-isa.h. Only hybrid drivers still need them.

5071860aba [PATCH] I2C: Separate non-i2c hwmon drivers from i2c-core (7/9)
Kill normal_isa in header files, documentation and all chip drivers, as
it is no more used.

normal_i2c could be renamed to normal, but I decided not to do so at the
moment, so as to limit the number of changes. This might be done later
as part of the i2c_probe/i2c_detect merge.

efde723fda [PATCH] I2C: Separate non-i2c hwmon drivers from i2c-core (1/9)
Temporarily export a few structures and functions from i2c-core, because we
will soon need them in i2c-isa.

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!
