i2c: at91: add new driver
This driver has the following properties compared to the old driver: 1. Support for multiple interfaces. 2. Interrupt driven I/O as opposed to polling/busy waiting. 3. Support for _one_ repeated start (Sr) condition, which is enough for most real-world applications including all SMBus transfer types. (The hardware does not support issuing arbitrary Sr conditions on the bus.) testing: SoC: at91sam9g45 - BQ20Z80 battery SMBus client. - on a 2.6.38 kernel with several i2c clients (temp-sensor, audio-codec, touchscreen-controller, w1-bridge, io-expanders) Signed-off-by: Nikolaus Voss <n.voss@weinmann.de> Reviewed-by: Felipe Balbi <balbi@ti.com> Tested-by: Hubert Feurstein <h.feurstein@gmail.com> Tested-by: Ludovic Desroches <ludovic.desroches@atmel.com> Reviewed-by: Nicolas Ferre <nicolas.ferre@atmel.com> [wsa: squashed with the following patches from Ludovic to have some flaws fixed: i2c: at91: use managed resources i2c: at91: add warning about transmission issues for some devices i2c: at91: use an id table for SoC dependent parameters ] Signed-off-by: Ludovic Desroches <ludovic.desroches@atmel.com> Signed-off-by: Wolfram Sang <w.sang@pengutronix.de>
