[U-Boot] [PATCH] fsl_i2c: Add write-then-read transaction interface for I2C slave

[U-Boot] [PATCH] fsl_i2c: Add write-then-read transaction interface for I2C slave

[Shaveta Leekha]

Most of the I2C slaves support accesses in the typical style
viz.read/write series of bytes at particular address offset.
These transactions are currently supportd in the
i2c driver using i2c_read and i2c_write APIs. I2C EEPROMs,
RTC, etc fall in this category.
The transactions look like:"
START:Address:Tx:Offset:RESTART:Address[0..4]:Tx/Rx:data[0..n]:STOP"

However there are certain devices which support accesses in
terms of the transactions as follows:
"START:Address:Tx:Txdata[0..n1]:Clock_stretching:
        RESTART:Address:Rx:data[0..n2]"

The Txdata is typically a command and some associated data,
similarly Rxdata could be command status plus some data received
as a response to the command sent.
i2c_write_read() function provides support for such transactions
(multiple bytes write followed by read)

You need to be careful when changing the header file. If you compile other
platforms, you will see the error. Try ./MAKEALL -a powerpc. I don't know how
bad you broke other architectures.

You need to be careful when changing the header file. If you compile other platforms, you will see the error. Try ./MAKEALL -a powerpc. I don't know how bad you broke other architectures.

[Leekha Shaveta-B20052] Agree. This may break i2c driver code for other architectures.
For one of the I2C device for B4 platform, the read/write transaction cycle is little different from
Other conventional I2C devices like EEPROM, PCA etc. 
As its not right to change the header file for i2c as the same is being shared by other architectures/drivers also.
So should we write a separate header file for FSL I2C driver fsl_i2c.h that support this
New write_read API for I2C? 

What do you suggest here?

You are adding a new operation to i2c adapters. There are different ways.

1) Update all code to support this new operation
2) Use ifdef to activate this operation only on selected platforms
3) Look for other examples to do this safely. There may be some better ways to
do so.
