Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I
was using misidentified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error
prone - task.
The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.
The FDT bindings for eeprom parts don't include any metadata about the
device other than the part name encoded in the compatible property.
Instead, a driver is required to have a compiled-in table of information
about the various parts (page size, device capacity, addressing scheme). So
much for FDT being an abstract description of hardware characteristics, huh?
In addition to the FDT-specific changes, this also switches to using the
newer iicbus_transfer_excl() mechanism which holds bus ownership for the
duration of the transfer. Previously this code held the bus across all
the transfers needed to complete the user's IO request, which could be
up to 128KB of data which might occupy the bus for 10-20 seconds. Now the
bus will be released and re-aquired between every page-sized (8-256 byte)
transfer, making this driver a much nicer citizen on the i2c bus.
The hint-based configuration mechanism is still in place for non-FDT systems.
Michal Meloun contributed some of the code for these changes.
subclasses as are available with PCI. Changes I2C device drivers without
real probe logic to return BUS_PROBE_NOWILDWARD to avoid interference with
firmware bus enumeration, and reduces the probe priority of the iicbus
base driver to allow subclass attachment at higher priority.

- ad7418(4) uses an sx lock instead of a mtx since the iicbus(4) stuff it
calls can sleep (request_bus()). Also, I expanded the locking slightly
to serialize writes to data stored in the softc.
- Similarly, the icee(4) driver now uses an sx lock instead of a mutex.
I also removed the pointless OPENED flag and flags field from the softc.
- The locking for the ic(4) driver was a bit trickier:
- Add a mutex to the softc to protect softc data.
- The driver uses malloc'd buffers that are the size of the interface
MTU to send and receive packets. Previously, these were allocated
every time the interface was brought up and anytime the MTU was
changed, with various races that could result in memory leaks. I
changed this to be a bit simpler and more like other NIC drivers in
that we allocate buffers during attach for the default MTU size and
only reallocate them on MTU changes. The reallocation procedure
goes to some lengths with various flags to not replace either the
the receive or transmit buffers while the driver is busy receiving
or transmitting a packet.
- Store the device_t of the driver in the softc instead of detours into
new-bus using if_dunit from the ifnet and an even more bizarre detour
to get the softc instead of using if_softc.
- Drop the driver mutex when invoking netisr_dispatch() to pass the
packet up to IP.
- Use if_printf().
