This allows us to re-use I2CDevice from I2CDriver while the drivers are
converted. We create a fake device with addr = 0 for each I2CDriver but
we only use the register/unregister logic. The transfer logic still uses
the methods from I2CDriver in order to use the right address.
Now we can interoperate I2CDevice drivers with the ones base in
I2CDriver since they are going to use the same semaphore and bus.
The I2CDriver constructors were changed to re-use the logic in I2CDevice
(it uses a number rather than an string) and the semaphore doesn't live
outside anymore, its embedded in the fake I2CDevice, as well as the
bus's file descritor.
When there is already a driver registered on an i2c bus, the I2C_SLAVE ioctl
returns an error.
When it happens, it is better to display a warning and try to force the address.
It is especially useful on the bebop when killing the regular autopilot that uses
iio drivers to access the imu because else we would need to manually unbind the
driver in an init procedure.
I have added a warning because this error can also be resulting of another cause.
If the error is not EBUSY, then panic
If the I2C_SLAVE_FORCE ioctl fails then we panic because one of the i2c devices
won't be working properly.
This commit changes the way libraries headers are included in source files:
- If the header is in the same directory the source belongs to, so the
notation '#include ""' is used with the path relative to the directory
containing the source.
- If the header is outside the directory containing the source, then we use
the notation '#include <>' with the path relative to libraries folder.
Some of the advantages of such approach:
- Only one search path for libraries headers.
- OSs like Windows may have a better lookup time.
The device number in /dev may not be reliable from one boot to another
due to the initialization order of each bus.
For example, in Minnow Board Max, the exposed I2C buses may be i2c-7 and
i2c-8 or i2c-8 and i2c-9 depending if the platform driver in the kernel
is initialized before or after the PCI.
It also may change with different version and configuration of the DT or
UEFI used making another kernel driver to bind to the device. This means that
for Minnow Board Max we need to use something like below to pass to the
constructor:
static const char * const i2c_devpaths[] = {
/* UEFI with lpss set to ACPI */
"/devices/platform/80860F41:05",
/* UEFI with lpss set to PCI */
"/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:18.6",
NULL
};
The devpath here is the one returned by udev with the following command:
udevadm info -q path /dev/<i2c-device>
In contrary to the device number in /dev/i2c-N, this path in sysfs is
stable across reboots and can only change if there's a change in the
UEFI firmware or the board's device tree.
This patch assumes the currently supported boards don't have this
problem so it's not touching them.
