* i2c: use an IRQ to report Host Notify events, not alertBenjamin Tissoires2016-11-241-27/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The current SMBus Host Notify implementation relies on .alert() to relay its notifications. However, the use cases where SMBus Host Notify is needed currently is to signal data ready on touchpads. This is closer to an IRQ than a custom API through .alert(). Given that the 2 touchpad manufacturers (Synaptics and Elan) that use SMBus Host Notify don't put any data in the SMBus payload, the concept actually matches one to one. Benefits are multiple: - simpler code and API: the client will just have an IRQ, and nothing needs to be added in the adapter beside internally enabling it. - no more specific workqueue, the threading is handled by IRQ core directly (when required) - no more races when removing the device (the drivers are already required to disable irq on remove) - simpler handling for drivers: use plain regular IRQs - no more dependency on i2c-smbus for i2c-i801 (and any other adapter) - the IRQ domain is created automatically when the adapter exports the Host Notify capability - the IRQ are assign only if ACPI, OF and the caller did not assign one already - the domain is automatically destroyed on remove - fewer lines of code (minus 20, yeah!)

* i2c: smbus: add SMBus Host Notify supportBenjamin Tissoires2016-06-171-0/+44
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | SMBus Host Notify allows a slave device to act as a master on a bus to notify the host of an interrupt. On Intel chipsets, the functionality is directly implemented in the firmware. We just need to export a function to call .alert() on the proper device driver. i2c_handle_smbus_host_notify() behaves like i2c_handle_smbus_alert(). When called, it schedules a task that will be able to sleep to go through the list of devices attached to the adapter. The current implementation allows one Host Notification to be scheduled while an other is running.

* i2c: Add SMBus alert supportJean Delvare2010-03-021-0/+50
SMBus alert support. The SMBus alert protocol allows several SMBus slave devices to share a single interrupt pin on the SMBus master, while still allowing the master to know which slave triggered the interrupt. This is based on preliminary work by David Brownell. The key difference between David's implementation and mine is that his was part of i2c-core, while mine is split into a separate, standalone module named i2c-smbus. The i2c-smbus module is meant to include support for all SMBus extensions to the I2C protocol in the future. The benefit of this approach is a zero cost for I2C bus segments which do not need SMBus alert support. Where David's implementation increased the size of struct i2c_adapter by 7% (40 bytes on i386), mine doesn't touch it. Where David's implementation added over 150 lines of code to i2c-core (+10%), mine doesn't touch it. The only change that touches all the users of the i2c subsystem is a new callback in struct i2c_driver (common to both implementations.) I seem to remember Trent was worried about the footprint of David'd implementation, hopefully mine addresses the issue.
