Hans-Frieder Vogt ad04d5c387 i2c: Cleanups to the i2c-nforce2 bus driver
Summary of changes:

- fixes:
   o legacy I/O region size is 64 bytes, not 8 bytes
- general cleanup:
   o removed code for the unsupported I2C block data, block data,
      proc call and block proc call transfer modes
   o removed detail warnings about unsupported modes that are
     covered in a general warning (unsupported transaction...)
     anyway
   o removed necessity of a definition of struct i2c_adapter
   o moved definition of struct i2c_algorithm, making forward
     declarations of nforce2_access and nforce2_func unnecessary
- minor changes:
   o in the description mention the nForce 5xx chipsets
   o changes my e-mail address in MODULE_AUTHOR

Theses cleanups shrink the driver binary size from 4.0 kB to 2.7 kB
on i386.

Kernel driver i2c-nforce2
Supported adapters:
* nForce2 MCP 10de:0064
* nForce2 Ultra 400 MCP 10de:0084
* nForce3 Pro150 MCP 10de:00D4
* nForce3 250Gb MCP 10de:00E4
* nForce4 MCP 10de:0052
* nForce4 MCP-04 10de:0034
* nForce4 MCP51 10de:0264
* nForce4 MCP55 10de:0368
Datasheet: not publicly available, but seems to be similar to the
AMD-8111 SMBus 2.0 adapter.

Description
-----------
i2c-nforce2 is a driver for the SMBuses included in the nVidia nForce2 MCP.
If your 'lspci -v' listing shows something like the following,
00:01.1 SMBus: nVidia Corporation: Unknown device 0064 (rev a2)
Subsystem: Asustek Computer, Inc.: Unknown device 0c11
Flags: 66Mhz, fast devsel, IRQ 5
I/O ports at c000 [size=32]
Capabilities: <available only to root>
then this driver should support the SMBuses of your motherboard.
Notes
-----
The SMBus adapter in the nForce2 chipset seems to be very similar to the
SMBus 2.0 adapter in the AMD-8111 south bridge. However, I could only get
the driver to work with direct I/O access, which is different to the EC
interface of the AMD-8111. Tested on Asus A7N8X. The ACPI DSDT table of the
Asus A7N8X lists two SMBuses, both of which are supported by this driver.
