e97b81ddbb [PATCH] i2c-parport: Make type parameter mandatory
This patch forces the user to specify what type of adapter is present when
loading i2c-parport or i2c-parport-light.  If none is specified, the driver
init simply fails - instead of assuming adapter type 0.

This alleviates the sometimes lengthy boot time delays which can be caused
by accidentally building one of these into a kernel along with several i2c
slave drivers that have lengthy probe routines (e.g. hwmon drivers).

Kconfig and documentation updated accordingly.

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.

Update the documentation to reflect this change.

8a9947552d [PATCH] i2c: Drop i2c_driver.flags, 2 of 3
Just about every i2c chip driver sets the I2C_DF_NOTIFY flag, so we
can simply make it the default and drop the flag. If any driver really
doesn't want to be notified when i2c adapters are added, that driver
can simply omit to set .attach_adapter. This approach is also more
robust as it prevents accidental NULL pointer dereferences.

8750197f0e [PATCH] i2c-viapro: Some adjustments
The big i2c-viapro SMBus driver update which went into 2.6.14-git1
introduced a few minor issues. Nothing critical, but I would like a
few adjustments to be merged in to fix the following problems:

* VIA should not be spelled Via.
* Frodo Looijaard and Philip Edelbrock did not write the i2c-viapro
  driver.
* When debugging is disabled, half of messages would be logged.
* Drop an unneeded masking.
* Some port reads can be avoided now that the transaction size is
  passed as a parameter to vt596_transaction().
* SMBus Receive Byte transactions are used for probing too (for
  EEPROMs), so hide errors on these too.

4c9337da37 [PATCH] I2C: Centralize 24RF08 corruption prevention
The 24RF08 corruption would better be prevented at i2c-core level than
at chip driver level, for several reasons:
* The second quick write should happen as soon as possible after the
  first one, so as to limit the risk that another command is issued on
  the bus inbetween, causing the corruption.
* As a matter of fact, the protection code at driver level was reworked
  at least three times already, which proves how hard it is to get it
  right there, while it's straightforward at i2c-core level.
* It's easy to add a new driver that would need the protection, and
  forget to add it. This did happen already.
* As additional probing addresses can be passed to most i2c chip drivers
  as module parameters, virtually every i2c chip driver would need the
  protection if we want to be really safe.
* Why duplicate code when we can easily avoid it?

a89ba0bc02 [PATCH] I2C: Rewrite i2c_probe
i2c_probe was quite complex and slow, so I rewrote it in a more
efficient and hopefully clearer way.

Note that this slightly changes the way the module parameters are
handled. This shouldn't change anything for the most common cases
though.

For one thing, the function now respects the order of the parameters
for address probing. It used to always do lower addresses first. The
new approach gives the user more control.

For another, ignore addresses don't overrule probe addresses anymore.
This could have been restored the way it was at the cost of a few more
lines of code, but I don't think it's worth it. Both lists are given
as module parameters, so a user would be quite silly to specify the
same addresses in both lists. The normal addresses list is the only
one that isn't controlled by a module parameter, thus is the only one
the user may reasonably want to remove an address from.

Another significant change is the fact that i2c_probe() will no more
stop when a detection function returns -ENODEV. Just because a driver
found a chip it doesn't support isn't a valid reason to stop all
probings for this one driver. This closes the long standing lm_sensors
ticket #1807.

  http://www2.lm-sensors.nu/~lm78/readticket.cgi?ticket=1807

I updated the documentation accordingly.

In terms of algorithmic complexity, the new code is way better. If
I is the ignore address count, P the probe address count, N the
normal address count and F the force address count, the old code
was doing 128 * (F + I + P + N) iterations max, while the new code
does F + P + ((I+1) * N) iterations max. For the most common case
where F, I and P are empty, this is down from 128 * N to N.

The only thing left in i2c-sensor.h are module parameter definition
macros. It's only an extension of what i2c.h offers, and this extension
is not sensors-specific. As a matter of fact, a few non-sensors drivers

altogether.

2bf34a1ca9 [PATCH] I2C: documentation update 1/3
This patch just changes the extension of Documentation/i2c/chips/smsc47b397.txt
to none - to conform with naming in i2c subsystem directory.

cc0b07ed47 [PATCH] I2C: Sensors mailing list has moved
The following patch updates all references to the sensors mailing list,
so as to reflect the fact that the list recently moved to a new home and
changed addresses. I'll work out a similar patch for Linux 2.4 soon.

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!
