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.

Make the documentation on how to write and port i2c drivers more in
line with the current state of things:
* i2c-isa is deprecated and soon gone, so stop advertising it.
* Drop many sensors-specific references. Most of them were outdated
anyway.
* Update the example code to reflect the recent and not-so-recent
API and coding style preference changes.
* Simplify the example init and cleanup functions.
This should make things less complex to understand for newcomers.

This simple patch adds support to i2c-parport for the One For All remote
JP1 parallel port interfaces which can be found detailed at:

These allow access to the internal configuration EEPROM on various
remote controls and there are a variety of Windows tools that make use
of this hardware. I have tested this patch with the "simple" parallel

using the eeprom i2c driver matches that returned by the Windows "IR"

Driver model updates for the I2C core:
- Add new suspend(), resume(), and shutdown() methods. Use them in the
standard driver model style; document them.
- Minor doc updates to highlight zero-initialized fields in drivers, and
the driver model accessors for "clientdata".
If any i2c drivers were previously using the old suspend/resume calls
in "struct driver", they were getting warning messages ... and will
now no longer work. Other than that, this patch changes no behaviors;
and it lets I2C drivers use conventional PM and shutdown support.

Summary of changes:
- fixes:
o legacy I/O region size is 64 bytes, not 8 bytes
- general cleanup:
o removed code for the unsupported I2C block data, block data,
proc call and block proc call transfer modes
o removed detail warnings about unsupported modes that are
covered in a general warning (unsupported transaction...)
anyway
o removed necessity of a definition of struct i2c_adapter
o moved definition of struct i2c_algorithm, making forward
declarations of nforce2_access and nforce2_func unnecessary
- minor changes:
o in the description mention the nForce 5xx chipsets
o changes my e-mail address in MODULE_AUTHOR
Theses cleanups shrink the driver binary size from 4.0 kB to 2.7 kB
on i386.

This patch removes the fix_hstcfg option from the driver and related
SMBus Interrupt Select register magic because now we know what are
valid values for this register. This patch updates the documentation
and adds new IRQ mode check so we are sure not to miss any new
"unusual" value.
The PCI quirk for users of fix_hstcfg was not developed because the
chipset lacks of subsystem ID registers and DMI is stated "To be
filled". Impact to existing systems is minimal because the problem
showed up on motherboards like 10 years back. On the other hand users
of newer Serverworks and HT1000 systems won't be misleaded by the
message suggesting to try the fix_hstcfg any more.

This patch forces the user to specify what type of adapter is present when
loading i2c-parport or i2c-parport-light. If none is specified, the driver
init simply fails - instead of assuming adapter type 0.
This alleviates the sometimes lengthy boot time delays which can be caused
by accidentally building one of these into a kernel along with several i2c
slave drivers that have lengthy probe routines (e.g. hwmon drivers).

Do not limit the usage count of i2c clients to 1. In other words,
change the client usage count behavior from the old I2C_CLIENT_ALLOW_USE

behavior is slightly easier to implement.

Just about every i2c chip driver sets the I2C_DF_NOTIFY flag, so we
can simply make it the default and drop the flag. If any driver really
doesn't want to be notified when i2c adapters are added, that driver
can simply omit to set .attach_adapter. This approach is also more
robust as it prevents accidental NULL pointer dereferences.

The big i2c-viapro SMBus driver update which went into 2.6.14-git1
introduced a few minor issues. Nothing critical, but I would like a
few adjustments to be merged in to fix the following problems:
* VIA should not be spelled Via.
* Frodo Looijaard and Philip Edelbrock did not write the i2c-viapro
driver.
* When debugging is disabled, half of messages would be logged.
* Drop an unneeded masking.
* Some port reads can be avoided now that the transaction size is
passed as a parameter to vt596_transaction().
* SMBus Receive Byte transactions are used for probing too (for
EEPROMs), so hide errors on these too.
