The i2c/algos directory contains abstracted code which is common to multiple hardware implementations. The most popular of these is i2c-algo-bit which implements software-only I2C over virtually any pair of controllable pins (parallel port, GPIOs, etc.) As a general rule, i2c/algos should only contain reusable, architecture and platform independent code. All the actual hardware access should be delegated to the bus drivers, through callbacks. If this can't be done easily then i2c/algos is not the right place. -- Jean Delvare -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
