553515e5c5 i2c/pcf8574: No arbitrary initialization
Do not initialize the PCF8574 with an arbitrary value. Users will have
to write the initial value to sysfs themselves.

4b2643d7d9 i2c: Fix the i2c_smbus_read_i2c_block_data() prototype
Let the drivers specify how many bytes they want to read with
i2c_smbus_read_i2c_block_data(). So far, the block count was
hard-coded to I2C_SMBUS_BLOCK_MAX (32), which did not make much sense.
Many driver authors complained about this before, and I believe it's
about time to fix it. Right now, authors have to do technically stupid
things, such as individual byte reads or full-fledged I2C messaging,
to work around the problem. We do not want to encourage that.

I even found that some bus drivers (e.g. i2c-amd8111) already
implemented I2C block read the "right" way, that is, they didn't
follow the old, broken standard. The fact that it was never noticed
before just shows how little i2c_smbus_read_i2c_block_data() was used,
which isn't that surprising given how broken its prototype was so far.

There are some obvious compatiblity considerations:
* This changes the i2c_smbus_read_i2c_block_data() prototype. Users
  outside the kernel tree will notice at compilation time, and will
  have to update their code.
* User-space has access to i2c_smbus_xfer() directly using i2c-dev, so
  the changed expectations would affect tools such as i2cdump. In order
  to preserve binary compatibility, we give I2C_SMBUS_I2C_BLOCK_DATA
  a new numeric value, and define I2C_SMBUS_I2C_BLOCK_BROKEN with the
  old numeric value. When i2c-dev receives a transaction with the
  old value, it can convert it to the new format on the fly.

890e037509 i2c: Delete outdated x1205 driver documentation
The x1205 driver moved to the RTC subsystem and was significantly
modified since then, so just delete the outdated documentation.

ede7fbdf52 [PATCH] I2C: Move hwmon drivers (3/3)
Part 3: Move the drivers documentation, plus two general documentation
files.

Note that the patch "adds trailing whitespace", because it does move the
files as-is, and some files happen to have trailing whitespace.

7c7a530463 [PATCH] I2C: w83781d: remove non-i2c sensor chips
This patch removes the support for the W83697HF and W83627THF chips from
the w83781d driver. These chips have no I2C/SMBus interface and are
better supported by the Super-I/O-based w83627hf driver. Documentation
was updated to reflect the support drop.

This is an i2c driver for the Philips PCA9539 (16 bit I/O port).
It uses the new i2c-sysfs interfaces.
The patch includes documentation.
It depends on the patch that renames "i2c-sysfs.h" to "hwmon-sysfs.h"

1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
