Subject: checksum in (i2c) eeprom driver
Date: Thu, 9 Dec 2004 13:53:04 +0100 (CET)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <lNsWdTVB.1102596784.6279250.khali@localhost> (raw)


Hi all,

Any objection to me removing the checksumming code from the (i2c) eeprom
driver? Deepak had suggested we should do so a long time ago [1], and I
fully agree with his position. The checksum is application-specific and
verifying it doesn't belong to the kernel-space. The checksumming code
we (optionally) use at the moment only covers memory module EEPROMs as
far as I know, while EEPROMs exposed on I2C/SMBus may be of a variety of
other natures.

Thanks,
