- Add an sx lock to the iic(4) driver to serialize open(), close(), read(),
and write and to protect sc_addr and sc_count in the softc.
- Use cdev->si_drv1 instead of using the minor number of the cdev to
lookup the softc via newbus in iic(4).
- Store the device_t in the softc to avoid a similar detour via minor
numbers in iic(4).
- Only add at most one instance of iic(4) and iicsmb(4) to each iicbus(4)
instance, and do it in the child driver.
- Add a mutex to the iicbus(4) softc to synchronize the request/release bus
stuff.
- Use __BUS_ACCESSOR() for IICBUS_ACCESSOR() instead of rolling our own.
- Add a mutex to the iicsmb(4) softc to protect softc state updated in the
interrupt handler.
- Remove Giant from all the smbus methods in iicsmb(4) now that all the
iicbus(4) backend is locked.
forcing all transfers to do the start read/write stop by hand. Some
smart bridges prefer this sort of operation, and this allows us to
support their features more easily. When bridges don't support it, we
fall back to using the old-style opertaions. Expand the ioctl
interface to expose this function. Unlike the old-style interface,
this interface is thread safe, even on old bridges.
devices dynamically. That means,
+ only one /dev/iic or /dev/smb device for each smb/iic bus to access
+ I2C/SMB device address must be given to any ioctl
+ new devices may be plugged and accessed after boot, which was
impossible previously (device addresses were hardcoded into
the kernel)
