In kernel 2.6.26, the ability to select I2C algorithm drivers manually was removed, as all in-kernel drivers do that automatically. However there were some complaints that it was a problem for out-of-tree I2C bus drivers. In order to address these complaints, let's allow manual selection of these drivers again, but still hide them by default for better general user experience. This closes bug #11140: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11140 Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>

---help---
|
|
I2C (pronounce: I-square-C) is a slow serial bus protocol used in
|
|
many micro controller applications and developed by Philips. SMBus,
|
|
or System Management Bus is a subset of the I2C protocol. More
|
|
information is contained in the directory <file:Documentation/i2c/>,
|
|
especially in the file called "summary" there.
|
|
|
|
Both I2C and SMBus are supported here. You will need this for
|
|
hardware sensors support, and also for Video For Linux support.
|
|
|
|
If you want I2C support, you should say Y here and also to the
|
|
specific driver for your bus adapter(s) below.
|
|
|
|
This I2C support can also be built as a module. If so, the module
|
|
will be called i2c-core.

help
|
|
Say Y here to use i2c-* device files, usually found in the /dev
|
|
directory on your system. They make it possible to have user-space
|
|
programs use the I2C bus. Information on how to do this is
|
|
contained in the file <file:Documentation/i2c/dev-interface>.
|
|
|
|
This support is also available as a module. If so, the module
|
|
will be called i2c-dev.

help
|
|
Some I2C bus drivers require so-called "I2C algorithm" modules
|
|
to work. These are basically software-only abstractions of generic
|
|
I2C interfaces. This option will autoselect them so that you don't
|
|
have to care.
|
|
|
|
Unselect this only if you need to enable additional helper
|
|
modules, for example for use with external I2C bus drivers.
|
|
|
|
In doubt, say Y.
