One of these +assumptions is that most adapters and devices drivers support the SMBUS_QUICK +protocol to probe device presence. Another is that devices and their drivers +can be sufficiently configured using only such probe primitives. + +As Linux and its I2C stack became more widely used in embedded systems +and complex components such as DVB adapters, those assumptions became more +problematic. Drivers for I2C devices that issue interrupts need more (and +different) configuration information, as do drivers handling chip variants +that can't be distinguished by protocol probing, or which need some board +specific information to operate correctly. + +Accordingly, the I2C stack now has two models for associating I2C devices +with their drivers: the original "legacy" model, and a newer one that's +fully compatible with the Linux 2.6 driver model. These models do not mix, +since the "legacy" model requires drivers to create "i2c_client" device +objects after SMBus style probing, while the Linux driver model expects +drivers to be given such device objects in their probe() routines. + + +Standard Driver Model Binding ("New Style") +------------------------------------------- + +System infrastructure, typically board-specific initialization code or +boot firmware, reports what I2C devices exist. For example, there may be +a table, in the kernel or from the boot loader, identifying I2C devices +and linking them to board-specific configuration information about IRQs +and other wiring artifacts, chip type, and so on. That could be used to +create i2c_client objects for each I2C device. + +I2C device drivers using this binding model work just like any other +kind of driver in Linux: they provide a probe() method to bind to +those devices, and a remove() method to unbind. + + static int foo_probe(struct i2c_client *client); + static int foo_remove(struct i2c_client *client); + +Remember that the i2c_driver does not create those client handles. The +handle may be used during foo_probe(). If foo_probe() reports success +(zero not a negative status code) it may save the handle and use it until +foo_remove() returns. That binding model is used by most Linux drivers. + +Drivers match devices when i2c_client.driver_name and the driver name are +the same; this approach is used in several other busses that don't have +device typing support in the hardware. The driver and module name should +match, so hotplug/coldplug mechanisms will modprobe the driver. + + +Device Creation (Standard driver model) +--------------------------------------- + +If you know for a fact that an I2C device is connected to a given I2C bus, +you can instantiate that device by simply filling an i2c_board_info +structure with the device address and driver name, and calling +i2c_new_device(). This will create the device, then the driver core will +take care of finding the right driver and will call its probe() method. +If a driver supports different device types, you can specify the type you +want using the type field. You can also specify an IRQ and platform data +if needed. + +Sometimes you know that a device is connected to a given I2C bus, but you +don't know the exact address it uses. This happens on TV adapters for +example, where the same driver supports dozens of slightly different +models, and I2C device addresses change from one model to the next. In +that case, you can use the i2c_new_probed_device() variant, which is +similar to i2c_new_device(), except that it takes an additional list of +possible I2C addresses to probe. A device is created for the first +responsive address in the list. If you expect more than one device to be +present in the address range, simply call i2c_new_probed_device() that +many times. + +The call to i2c_new_device() or i2c_new_probed_device() typically happens +in the I2C bus driver.
