If it looks like i2c messages, would it be more appropriate to make it appear as an i2c controller then?
Although the message looks like I2C command, it is not I2C. Form source code, the software does not touch any I2C i/o or protocols. It depends SoC and has specific initial flow, read and write transfer state. It is not able to an i2c controller.
What Arnd is suggesting is that if the flow for using it is similar enough to I2C you can push it through the I2C framework anyway even though it'll never be possible to use it with generic devices.
That's why we consider its a proprietary hardware with specific protocols. How about let it appear in driver/soc?
That's another option, though I'm not sure that's what the arm-soc people are looking for. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
