You will have to instantiate the devices explicitly. -Please see Documentation/i2c/instantiating-devices.rst for details. - - -Usage Notes ------------ - -This driver requires the I2C adapter driver to support raw I2C messages. I2C -adapter drivers which can only handle the SMBus protocol are not supported. - -The maximum SPI message size supported by SC18IS602/603 is 200 bytes. Attempts -to initiate longer transfers will fail with -EINVAL. EEPROM read operations and -similar large accesses have to be split into multiple chunks of no more than -200 bytes per SPI message (128 bytes of data per message is recommended). This -means that programs such as "cp" or "od", which automatically use large block -sizes to access a device, can not be used directly to read data from EEPROM. -Programs such as dd, where the block size can be specified, should be used -instead. |
