7e722083fc i2c: Remove I2C_COMPAT config symbol and related code
This code was added with 2bb5095aff ("i2c: Provide compatibility links
for i2c adapters"). Commit message stated: Provide compatibility links
for [...] the time being. We will remove them after a long transition
period.
15 years should have been a long enough transition period.

24dc13f943 i2c: Make I2C_ATR invisible
I2C Address Translator (ATR) support is not a stand-alone driver, but a
library.  All of its users select I2C_ATR.  Hence there is no need for
the user to enable this symbol manually, except when compile-testing.

a076a860ac media: i2c: add I2C Address Translator (ATR) support
An ATR is a device that looks similar to an i2c-mux: it has an I2C
slave "upstream" port and N master "downstream" ports, and forwards
transactions from upstream to the appropriate downstream port. But it
is different in that the forwarded transaction has a different slave
address. The address used on the upstream bus is called the "alias"
and is (potentially) different from the physical slave address of the
downstream chip.

Add a helper file (just like i2c-mux.c for a mux or switch) to allow
implementing ATR features in a device driver. The helper takes care of
adapter creation/destruction and translates addresses at each transaction.

a8335c64c5 i2c: add slave testunit driver
Here is an I2C slave backend driver which allows to test some uncommon
functionalities of the I2C and SMBus world. Usually, you need specific
devices to test e.g. SMBus Host Notify and such. With this driver you
just need the slave interface of another I2C controller.

This initial version has testcases for multi-master and SMBus Host
Notify. Already planned but not yet implemented are SMBus Alert and
messages with I2C_M_RECV_LEN.

Please read the documentation for further details.

a7f7f6248d treewide: replace '---help---' in Kconfig files with 'help'
Since commit 84af7a6194 ("checkpatch: kconfig: prefer 'help' over
'---help---'"), the number of '---help---' has been gradually
decreasing, but there are still more than 2400 instances.

This commit finishes the conversion. While I touched the lines,
I also fixed the indentation.

There are a variety of indentation styles found.

  a) 4 spaces + '---help---'
  b) 7 spaces + '---help---'
  c) 8 spaces + '---help---'
  d) 1 space + 1 tab + '---help---'
  e) 1 tab + '---help---'    (correct indentation)
  f) 1 tab + 1 space + '---help---'
  g) 1 tab + 2 spaces + '---help---'

In order to convert all of them to 1 tab + 'help', I ran the
following commend:

  $ find . -name 'Kconfig*' | xargs sed -i 's/^[[:space:]]*---help---/\thelp/'

8636a1f967 treewide: surround Kconfig file paths with double quotes
The Kconfig lexer supports special characters such as '.' and '/' in
the parameter context. In my understanding, the reason is just to
support bare file paths in the source statement.

I do not see a good reason to complicate Kconfig for the room of
ambiguity.

The majority of code already surrounds file paths with double quotes,
and it makes sense since file paths are constant string literals.

Make it treewide consistent now.

8600b697cd Merge branch 'i2c/for-4.10' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/wsa/linux
Pull i2c updates from Wolfram Sang:

 - the first series of making i2c_device_id optional instead of
   mandatory (in favor of alternatives like of_device_id).

   This involves adding a new probe callback (probe_new) which removes
   some peculiarities I2C had for a long time now. The new probe is
   matching the other subsystems now and the old one will be removed
   once all users are converted. It is expected to take a while but
   there is ongoing interest in that.

 - SMBus Host Notify introduced 4.9 got refactored. They are now using
   interrupts instead of the alert callback which solves multiple
   issues.

 - new drivers for iMX LowPower I2C, Mellanox CPLD and its I2C mux

 - significant refactoring for bcm2835 driver

 - the usual set of driver updates and improvements

4d5538f588 i2c: use an IRQ to report Host Notify events, not alert
The current SMBus Host Notify implementation relies on .alert() to
relay its notifications. However, the use cases where SMBus Host
Notify is needed currently is to signal data ready on touchpads.

This is closer to an IRQ than a custom API through .alert().
Given that the 2 touchpad manufacturers (Synaptics and Elan) that
use SMBus Host Notify don't put any data in the SMBus payload, the
concept actually matches one to one.

Benefits are multiple:
- simpler code and API: the client will just have an IRQ, and
  nothing needs to be added in the adapter beside internally
  enabling it.
- no more specific workqueue, the threading is handled by IRQ core
  directly (when required)
- no more races when removing the device (the drivers are already
  required to disable irq on remove)
- simpler handling for drivers: use plain regular IRQs
- no more dependency on i2c-smbus for i2c-i801 (and any other adapter)
- the IRQ domain is created automatically when the adapter exports
  the Host Notify capability
- the IRQ are assign only if ACPI, OF and the caller did not assign
  one already
- the domain is automatically destroyed on remove
- fewer lines of code (minus 20, yeah!)

93d710a65e i2c: mux: fix up dependencies
We get the following build error from UM Linux after adding
an entry to drivers/iio/gyro/Kconfig that issues "select I2C_MUX":

ERROR: "devm_ioremap_resource"
   [drivers/i2c/muxes/i2c-mux-reg.ko] undefined!
ERROR: "of_address_to_resource"
   [drivers/i2c/muxes/i2c-mux-reg.ko] undefined!

It appears that the I2C mux core code depends on HAS_IOMEM
for historical reasons, while CONFIG_I2C_MUX_REG does *not*
have a direct dependency on HAS_IOMEM.

This creates a situation where a allyesconfig or allmodconfig
for UM Linux will select I2C_MUX, and will implicitly enable
I2C_MUX_REG as well, and the compilation will fail for the
register driver.

Fix this up by making I2C_MUX_REG depend on HAS_IOMEM and
removing the dependency from I2C_MUX.

Commit da3c6647(I2C/ACPI: Clean up I2C ACPI code and Add CONFIG_I2C_ACPI

etc generally compile I2C as a module and the commit broken that.
This patch is to rename I2C_ACPI to ACPI_I2C_OPREGION. New config
only controls ACPI I2C operation region code and depends on I2C=y.

9c1600eda4 i2c: Add i2c_board_info and i2c_new_device()
This provides partial support for new-style I2C driver binding.  It builds
on "struct i2c_board_info" declarations that identify I2C devices on a given
board.  This is needed on systems with I2C devices that can't be fully probed
and/or autoconfigured, such as many embedded Linux configurations where the
way a given I2C device is wired may affect how it must be used.

There are two models for declaring such devices:

 * LATE -- using a public function i2c_new_device().  This lets modules
   declare I2C devices found *AFTER* a given I2C adapter becomes available.
   
   For example, a PCI card could create adapters giving access to utility
   chips on that card, and this would be used to associate those chips with
   those adapters.

 * EARLY -- from arch_initcall() level code, using a non-exported function
   i2c_register_board_info().  This copies the declarations *BEFORE* such
   an i2c_adapter becomes available, arranging that i2c_new_device() will
   be called later when i2c-core registers the relevant i2c_adapter.

   For example, arch/.../.../board-*.c files would declare the I2C devices
   along with their platform data, and I2C devices would behave much like
   PNPACPI devices.  (That is, both enumerate from board-specific tables.)

To match the exported i2c_new_device(), the previously-private function
i2c_unregister_device() is now exported.

Pending later patches using these new APIs, this is effectively a NOP.

i2c: Fix copy-n-paste in subsystem Kconfig

We have:
  drivers/i2c/Kconfig:2:# Character device configuration
Which is obviously not true..

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
