Description
|
||
|
|
-----------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This driver provides connects a NXP SC18IS602/603 I2C-bus to SPI bridge to the
|
||
|
|
kernel's SPI core subsystem.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The driver does not probe for supported chips, since the SI18IS602/603 does not
|
||
|
|
support Chip ID registers. You will have to instantiate the devices explicitly.
|
||
|
|
Please see Documentation/i2c/instantiating-devices.rst for details.

Usage Notes
|
||
|
|
-----------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This driver requires the I2C adapter driver to support raw I2C messages. I2C
|
||
|
|
adapter drivers which can only handle the SMBus protocol are not supported.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The maximum SPI message size supported by SC18IS602/603 is 200 bytes. Attempts
|
||
|
|
to initiate longer transfers will fail with -EINVAL. EEPROM read operations and
|
||
|
|
similar large accesses have to be split into multiple chunks of no more than
|
||
|
|
200 bytes per SPI message (128 bytes of data per message is recommended). This
|
||
|
|
means that programs such as "cp" or "od", which automatically use large block
|
||
|
|
sizes to access a device, can not be used directly to read data from EEPROM.
|
||
|
|
Programs such as dd, where the block size can be specified, should be used
|
||
|
|
instead.
