Grant Likely c9e358dfc4 driver-core: remove conditionals around devicetree pointers
Having conditional around the of_match_table and the of_node pointers
turns out to make driver code use ugly #ifdef blocks.  Drop the
conditionals and remove the #ifdef blocks from the affected drivers.

Also tidy up minor whitespace issues within the same hunks.

Mark Brown d529de2994 i2c: Factor out runtime suspend checks from PM operations
When devices use dev_pm_ops the I2C API is implementing standard functionality
for integration with runtime PM and for checking for the presence of a per
device op. The PM core provides pm_generic_ functions implementing this
behaviour - use them to reduce coupling with future PM updates.

Grant Likely 925bb9c649 of/i2c: Fix module load order issue caused by of_i2c.c
Commit 959e85f7, "i2c: add OF-style registration and binding" caused a
module dependency loop where of_i2c.c calls functions in i2c-core, and
i2c-core calls of_i2c_register_devices() in of_i2c.  This means that
when i2c support is built as a module when CONFIG_OF is set, then
neither i2c_core nor of_i2c are able to be loaded.

This patch fixes the problem by moving the of_i2c_register_devices()
calls back into the device drivers.  Device drivers already
specifically request the core code to parse the device tree for
devices anyway by setting the of_node pointer, so it isn't a big
deal to also call the registration function.  The drivers just become
slightly more verbose.

Rajendra Nayak 64b4782fc9 i2c: Fix checks which cause legacy suspend to never get called
For devices which are not adapted to runtime PM a call to
pm_runtime_suspended always returns true.

Hence the pm_runtime_suspended checks below prevent legacy
suspend from getting called.

So do a pm_runtime_suspended check only for devices with a
dev_pm_ops populated (which hence do not rely on the legacy
suspend.)

Vishwanath BS 753419f59e i2c: Fix for suspend/resume issue
In current i2c core driver, call to pm_runtime_set_active from
i2c_device_pm_resume will unconditionally enable i2c module and
increment child count of the parent. Because of this, in CPU Idle
path, i2c does not idle, preventing Core to enter retention. Also i2c
module will not be suspended upon system suspend as
pm_runtime_set_suspended is not called from i2c_device_pm_suspend.

This issue is fixed by removing pm_runtime_set_active call from resume
path which is not necessary.
This fix has been tested on OMAP4430.

This is a very basic check. We don't want to do strict checking here

(e.g. IR receivers at 7-bit address 0x7a while this value is
supposedly reserved for 10-bit addresses.) So we assume the caller

Rafael J. Wysocki 2f60ba706b i2c: Fix bus-level power management callbacks
There are three issues with the i2c bus type's power management
callbacks at the moment.  First, they don't include any hibernate
callbacks, although they should at least include the .restore()
callback (there's no guarantee that the driver will be present in
memory before loading the image kernel and we must restore the
pre-hibernation state of the device).  Second, the "legacy"
callbacks are not going to be invoked by the PM core since the bus
type's pm object is not NULL.  Finally, the system sleep PM
(ie. suspend/resume) callbacks don't check if the device has been
already suspended at run time, in which case they should skip
suspending it.  Also, it looks like the i2c bus type can use the
generic subsystem-level runtime PM callbacks.

For these reasons, rework the system sleep PM callbacks provided by
the i2c bus type to handle hibernation correctly and to invoke the
"legacy" callbacks for drivers that provide them.  In addition to
that make the i2c bus type use the generic subsystem-level runtime
PM callbacks.

Jean Delvare b1d4b390ea i2c: Fix probing of FSC hardware monitoring chips
Some FSC hardware monitoring chips (Syleus at least) doesn't like
quick writes we typically use to probe for I2C chips. Use a regular
byte read instead for the address they live at (0x73). These are the
only known chips living at this address on PC systems.

For clarity, this fix should not be needed for kernels 2.6.30 and
later, as we started instantiating the hwmon devices explicitly based
on DMI data. Still, this fix is valuable in the following two cases:
* Support for recent FSC chips on older kernels. The DMI-based device
  instantiation is more difficult to backport than the device support
  itself.
* Case where the DMI-based device instantiation fails, whatever the
  reason. We fall back to probing in that case, so it should work.

Grant Likely d12d42f744 i2c/of: Allow device node to be passed via i2c_board_info
The struct device_node *of_node pointer is moving out of dev->archdata
and into the struct device proper.  of_i2c.c needs to set the of_node
pointer before the device is registered.  Since the i2c subsystem
doesn't allow 2 stage allocation and registration of i2c devices, the
of_node pointer needs to be passed via the i2c_board_info structure
so that it is set prior to registration.

This patch adds of_node to struct i2c_board_info (conditional on
CONFIG_OF), sets of_node in i2c_new_device(), and modifies of_i2c.c
to use the new parameter.  The calling of dev_archdata_set_node()
from of_i2c will be removed in a subsequent patch when of_node is
removed from archdata and all users are converted over.

Jean Delvare 2bb5095aff i2c: Provide compatibility links for i2c adapters
Some user-space applications may be relying on i2c adapters showing up
as class devices in sysfs. Provide compatibility links for them for
the time being. We will remove them after a long transition period.

Jean Delvare 4f8cf8240a i2c: Convert i2c adapters to bus devices
Kay says i2c adapters shouldn't be class devices but bus devices.
Convert them that way, using a device type.

Rodolfo Giometti f18c41daea i2c: Use rwsem instead of mutex for board info
By using rwsem we can easily manage recursive calls of
i2c_scan_static_board_info() function without breaking the locking.

Jean Delvare 99cd8e2587 i2c: Add a sysfs interface to instantiate devices
Add a sysfs interface to instantiate and delete I2C devices. This is
primarily a replacement of the force_* module parameters implemented
by some i2c drivers. These module parameters were implemented
internally by the I2C_CLIENT_INSMOD* macros, which don't scale well.

This can also be used when developing a driver on a self-soldered
board which doesn't yet have proper I2C device declaration at the
platform level, and presumably for various debugging situations.
