636752bcb5 i2c-i801: Enable IRQ for SMBus transactions
Add a new 'feature' to i2c-i801 to enable using PCI interrupts.
When the feature is enabled, then an isr is installed for the device's
PCI IRQ.

An I2C/SMBus transaction is always terminated by one of the following
interrupt sources: FAILED, BUS_ERR, DEV_ERR, or on success: INTR.

When the isr fires for one of these cases, it sets the ->status variable
and wakes up the waitq.  The waitq then saves off the status code, and
clears ->status (in preparation for some future transaction).
The SMBus controller generates an INTR irq at the end of each
transaction where INTREN was set in the HST_CNT register.

No locking is needed around accesses to priv->status since all writes to
it are serialized: it is only ever set once in the isr at the end of a
transaction, and cleared while no interrupts can occur.  In addition, the
I2C adapter lock guarantees that entire I2C transactions for a single
adapter are always serialized.

For this patch, the INTREN bit is set only for SMBus block, byte and word
transactions, but not for I2C reads or writes.  The use of the DS
(BYTE_DONE) interrupt with byte-by-byte I2C transactions is implemented in
a subsequent patch.

The interrupt feature has only been enabled for COUGARPOINT hardware.
In addition, it is disabled if SMBus is using the SMI# interrupt.

14674e7011 i2c: Split I2C_M_NOSTART support out of I2C_FUNC_PROTOCOL_MANGLING
Since there are uses for I2C_M_NOSTART which are much more sensible and
standard than most of the protocol mangling functionality (the main one
being gather writes to devices where something like a register address
needs to be inserted before a block of data) create a new I2C_FUNC_NOSTART
for this feature and update all the users to use it.

Also strengthen the disrecommendation of the protocol mangling while we're
at it.

In the case of regmap-i2c we remove the requirement for mangling as
I2C_M_NOSTART is the only mangling feature which is being used.

 |          |------------|          |               |           |
 |          |            |          | Bus segment M

updating broken web addresses that are located in Documentation/*
Some of the addresses date as far far back as 1995 etc... so searching became a bit difficult,
the best way to deal with these is to use web.archive.org to locate these addresses that are outdated.
Now there are also some addresses pointing to .spec files some are located, but some(after searching
on the companies site)where still no where to be found. In this case I just changed the address
to the company site this way the users can contact the company and they can locate them for the users.

b5527a7766 i2c: Add SMBus alert support
SMBus alert support. The SMBus alert protocol allows several SMBus
slave devices to share a single interrupt pin on the SMBus master,
while still allowing the master to know which slave triggered the
interrupt.

This is based on preliminary work by David Brownell. The key
difference between David's implementation and mine is that his was
part of i2c-core, while mine is split into a separate, standalone
module named i2c-smbus. The i2c-smbus module is meant to include
support for all SMBus extensions to the I2C protocol in the future.

The benefit of this approach is a zero cost for I2C bus segments which
do not need SMBus alert support. Where David's implementation
increased the size of struct i2c_adapter by 7% (40 bytes on i386),
mine doesn't touch it. Where David's implementation added over 150
lines of code to i2c-core (+10%), mine doesn't touch it. The only
change that touches all the users of the i2c subsystem is a new
callback in struct i2c_driver (common to both implementations.) I seem
to remember Trent was worried about the footprint of David'd
implementation, hopefully mine addresses the issue.

c7b25a9e96 i2c: Drop probe, ignore and force module parameters

same can be achieved using the new_device sysfs interface, which is
both more flexible and cheaper (it is implemented by i2c-core rather
than replicated in every driver module.)

The legacy ignore module parameters can be dropped as well. Ignoring
can be done by instantiating a "dummy" device at the problematic
address.

This is the first step of a huge cleanup to i2c-core's i2c_detect
function, i2c.h's I2C_CLIENT_INSMOD* macros, and all drivers that made

We converted all the legacy i2c drivers so we can finally get rid of
the legacy binding model. Hooray!

a231591f04 i2c-viapro: Add new PCI device ID for VX855
The south bridge of the VIA VX855 chipset has a different PCI Device ID
so i2c-viapro.c needs to be updated with this.

dd14be4c27 i2c-ocores: Can add I2C devices to the bus
There is sometimes a need for the ocores driver to add devices to the
bus when installed.

i2c_register_board_info can not always be used, because the I2C devices
 are not known at an early state, they could for instance be connected
 on a I2C bus on a PCI device which has the Open Cores IP.

i2c_new_device can not be used in all cases either since the resulting
bus nummer might be unknown.

The solution is the pass a list of I2C devices in the platform data to
the Open Cores driver. This is useful for MFD drivers.

fb4504fe84 Move the pcf8591 driver to hwmon
Directory drivers/i2c/chips is going away, so drivers there must find
new homes. For the pcf8591 driver, the best choice seems to be the
hwmon subsystem. While the Philips PCF8591 device isn't a typical
hardware monitoring chip, its DAC interface is compatible with the
hwmon one, so it fits somewhat.

If a better subsystem is ever created for ADC/DAC chips, the driver
could be moved there.
