[PATCH 0/3] i2c: Relax requirement for I2C Device ID tables

[PATCH 0/3] i2c: Relax requirement for I2C Device ID tables

[Lee Jones]

Hi Wolfram,

After this patch-set, it should become possible to start stripping out
those unnecessary I2C Device ID tables that are currently lurking around,
mostly redundantly.  Firstly, we create a look-up function whose job it
is to match I2C device name to a Device Tree node.  Then we add some
extra protection in i2c_match_id(), so that we can call the function with
a NULL parameter. This in turn aids to the elegance of the final change
which relaxes the requirement of a populated .id_table.

Kind regards,
Lee

[PATCH 1/3] i2c: Provide 'device type' to 'OF device node' look-up

[Lee Jones]

We have a problem.  There are lots of I2C device ID tables scattered
around the kernel which are redundant in all Device Tree and/or ACPI
only supported device drivers.  After recent discussions it has become
apparent that the only thing blocking the complete removal of these
tables is the continued support of 'register an I2C device via sysfs'
functionality.  As the sysfs method doesn't know anything about Device
Tree or ACPI, we can not pass any nodes in.  This patch searches all
known Device Tree nodes and attempts to acquire a match from the
device name provided via sysfs.  It can not fail, but if found assigns
the matching of_node to i2c_board_info prior to registering.

Ah, this _might_ not work if there are more than one devices of the
same type.  I guess I need to check the 'reg' property too.

Ummm... blech!  :-)

It shouldn't actually be necessary to have a node when instantiating an
i2c_device... in fact, there /shouldn't/ be a node if the device is
getting instantiated by had via sysfs. If there was a node, then I would
expect a device to have been created at the same time.

I think panto's overlays solve the problem where a node actually is
required to instantiate the device by actually adding a node and letting
the i2c subsystem create the associated device automatically.

You're right.  I realised that about 10 mins after I sent the patch!

This looks like it's exactly what I need.  Pulling the code now.

[PATCH 2/3] i2c: Add pointer dereference protection to i2c_match_id()

[Lee Jones]

Here we're providing dereference protection for i2c_match_id(), which
saves us having to do it each time it's called.  We're also stripping
out the (now) needless check in i2c_device_match().  This patch paves
the way for other, similar code trimming.

[PATCH 3/3] i2c: Make I2C ID tables non-mandatory for DT'ed and/or ACPI'ed devices

[Lee Jones]

Currently the I2C framework insists on devices supplying an I2C ID
table.  Many of the devices which do so unnecessarily adding quite a
few wasted lines to kernel code.  This patch allows drivers a means
to 'not' supply the aforementioned table and match on either DT
and/or ACPI match tables instead.
