Subject: [PATCH 1/5] hwmon: (pmbus/core) Introduce pmbus_read_smbus_i2c_block_data()
Date: Mon, 3 Aug 2026 12:35:31 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260803193535.2286578-2-linux@roeck-us.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260803193535.2286578-1-linux@roeck-us.net>
PMBus drivers need support for reading SMBus block data. Unfortunately,
not all i2C controllers support this command.
Implement pmbus_read_smbus_i2c_block_data() which first tries to use
i2c_smbus_read_block_data(). If not supported, try to emulate it by calling
i2c_smbus_read_i2c_block_data(). Export the new function for use in PMBus
drivers.
