Hi, dibusb_i2c_xfer seems to do things very dangerous : it assumes that it get only write/read request or write request. That means that read can be understood as write. For example a program doing file = open("/dev/i2c-x", O_RDWR); ioctl(file, I2C_SLAVE, 0x50) read(file, data, 10) will corrupt the eeprom as it will be understood as a write. I attach a possible (untested) patch. Matthieu Signed-off-by: Matthieu CASTET
