Subject: [PATCH v2] Docs: Fixes link to I2C specification
Date: Fri, 19 Nov 2021 11:44:01 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20211119061401.19852-1-deep@fastmail.in> (raw)
The link to the I2C specification is broken and is replaced in this
patch by one that points to Rev 6 (2014) of the specification.
Although `https://www.nxp.com" hosts the Rev 7 (2021) of this
specification, it is behind a login-wall and thus cannot be used.
Thus, an additional link has been added (which doesn't require a login)
and the NXP official docs link has been updated. The additional link is
not the Wayback Machine link since it seems that the PDF has not been
archived.
