So clock toggling, you need to use gpio lines which in turns maps on sda and scl line. For the controller in which you have control over sda and scl line there is not need for gpio lines. You can directly write on registers. So to make the function more generic its better to control i2c lines with gpio. ~Rajeev > and keep watching of sda line whether it >> becomes high or not. >> We can put this algorithms in the some common file (i2c/algos/) and so if >> any i2c bus driver want to use, they can use it. >> Little background: I am working on tegra i2c controller and we have similar >> logic in tegra-i2c driver which we want to upstream. >> If similar function is in common place, we can use this and need not to >> duplicating it on every bus driver. >> >> > -- > To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-i2c" in > the body of a message to majordomo-u79uwXL29TY76Z2rM5mHXA@public.gmane.org > More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html > . >
