[Buildroot] [PATCH] i2c-tools: install devt headers to staging dir

[julien.boibessot at free.fr]

From: Julien BOIBESSOT <julien.boibessot@armadeus.com>

On debian (and maybe other distribs), there is a package named libi2c-dev
that install a useful header from i2c-tools (for the one wanting to write
I2C applications). See https://packages.debian.org/fr/wheezy/libi2c-dev.
Do the same in Buildroot. Note that "install" target in i2c-tools Makefile
would do the job, but BR installs i2c-tools's stuff manualy.

 Have you considered commit 41711cfdeda6f5fd9b2531f538f3643854d7d3ea?

    Revert "i2c-tools: Add i2c-dev.h to staging directory for userspace i2c
drivers."

    This reverts commit ff673f9a22b1467878f1a117f2c6198e9683d5c7, as the
    modified i2c-dev.h from i2c-tools has some definitions that conflict
    with the i2c.h from the kernel headers. This means that a userspace
    program or library that includes both will fail to build, as is the
    case with libsoc.

If the issue has been fixed now, please mention it in the commit log.


 Also, I would prefer to use the install target. The manual install was there
from the very first commit in 2008, I don't think it's still relevant. Peter?
Anyway, for staging the install target can definitely be used.


 Regards,
 Arnout

We already merged exactly the same patch in commit
ff673f9a22b1467878f1a117f2c6198e9683d5c7, and finally reverted it in
41711cfdeda6f5fd9b2531f538f3643854d7d3ea, with the following commit log:

So, if we are going to merge the same patch again, I'd like to be sure
that we won't fall into the exact same problems we had the previous
time. Could you check this?

Sorry for having missed that one ! Sadly, the same problem will occur
with my patch.
I have currently no idea how to solve that and still trying to figure
out how it can works on debian systems with libi2c-dev package installed.
So meanwhile you can forget about my patch.

Best regards,
Julien

 I guess Debian doesn't have packages that include both i2c.h and i2c-dev.h.
libsoc, for example, doesn't exist in Debian.

 I guess the solution would be for i2c-tools to #include or #include_next the
relevant kernel headers, instead of redefining. Or to have both i2c.h and
i2c-dev.h so that both kernel headers end up being overwritten.

 Regards,
 Arnout

Does the i2c-tools version of this file add anything important on top of
the Linux headers? The i2c /dev interface afaik hasn't changed in MANY
years.

Sorry, I don't remember. I *THINK* it installed a number of unneeded
stuff.

Changing to make install is fine by me if it nowadays does something sensible.

The i2c-tools version of i2c-dev.h adds a number of convenient i2c_smbus_*() 
routines, that wrap around the I2C_SMBUS ioctl.

These i2c_smbus_*() routines are used by some userspace I2C drivers (not
yet in BR), that's why I sent the patch to re-install i2c-dev.h

It is quite painful to have multiple incompatible versions of the same
header file, and i2c-tools imho shouldn't overwrite kernel headers.

Have this issue been discussed with upstream?
