Subject: i2c: dev: switch from register_chrdev to cdev API
X-Git-Url: http://git.cdn.openwrt.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=d6760b14d4a1243f918d983bba1e35c5a5cd5a6d;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git

i2c: dev: switch from register_chrdev to cdev API

i2c-dev had never moved away from the older register_chrdev interface to
implement its char device registration. The register_chrdev API has the
limitation of enabling only up to 256 i2c-dev busses to exist.

Large platforms with lots of i2c devices (i.e. pluggable transceivers)
with dedicated busses may have to exceed that limit.
In particular, there are also platforms making use of the i2c bus
multiplexing API, which instantiates a virtual bus for each possible
multiplexed selection.

This patch removes the register_chrdev usage and replaces it with the
less old cdev API, which takes away the 256 i2c-dev bus limitation.
It should not have any other impact for i2c bus drivers or user space.

This patch has been tested on qemu x86 and qemu powerpc platforms with
the aid of a module which adds and removes 5000 virtual i2c busses, as
well as validated on an existing powerpc hardware platform which makes
use of the i2c bus multiplexing API.
i2c-dev busses with device minor numbers larger than 256 have also been
validated to work with the existing i2c-tools.
