I2C architecture in linux kernel
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I2C(Inter-Integrated Circuit) bus is a very cheap yet effective network used to interconnect periphral devices within small-scale embedded systems.
I2c uses two wires to connect multiple devices in a multi-drop bus. The bus is bidirectional, low-speed, and synchronous to a common clock. Devices may be attached or detached from the I2C bus without affecting other devices. Several manufactures, such as Microchip, Philips, Intel, and others produce small microcontrollers with I2C built in . The data rate of I2C is somewhat slower than SPI, at 100kbps in standard mode, and 400 kbps in fast mode.
The two wires used to interconnect with I2C are SDA(serial data) and SCL(serial clock). Both lines are open-drain. They are connected to a positive supply via a pull-up resistor and therefore remain high when not in use. A device using the I2C bus to communicate drives the lines low or leaves them pulled high as appropriate. Each device connected to the I2C bus has a unique address and can operate as either a transmitter(a bus master), a receiver(a bus slave), or both. I2C is a multi-master bus, meaning that more than one device may assume the role of bus master.

How to register i2c device?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
i2c device can be registered statically and dynamically. The static way has been introduced above, the i2c_register_board_info(int busnum,struct i2c_board_info const *info, unsigned len) function is called to register the static info of i2c device to list __i2c_board_list, the corresponding i2c driver is registered, then in the registration to i2c adapter, the i2c client created by scan the device in list __i2c_board_list, then attach its corresponding i2c driver.
dynamic registration of i2c device is by means of i2c_new_device(adapter, &info), but first of all , you must create a struct i2c_board_info variable and fill it with the necessary info of i2c device, such as the slave address, name of i2c device, which is sure to match one of id_table->name in i2c driver.
following is a good example. kernel/sound/soc/codecs/wm8731.c
static const struct i2c_device_id wm8731_i2c_id[] = {
{ "wm8731", 0 },
{ }
};
MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(i2c, wm8731_i2c_id);
static struct i2c_driver wm8731_i2c_driver = {
.driver = {
.name = "WM8731 I2C Codec",
.owner = THIS_MODULE,
},
.probe = wm8731_i2c_probe,
.remove = wm8731_i2c_remove,
.id_table = wm8731_i2c_id,
};
static int wm8731_add_i2c_device(struct platform_device *pdev,
const struct wm8731_setup_data *setup)
{
struct i2c_board_info info;
struct i2c_adapter *adapter;
struct i2c_client *client;
int ret;
ret = i2c_add_driver(&wm8731_i2c_driver); <--------------------
if (ret != 0) {
dev_err(&pdev->dev, "can't add i2c driver\n");
return ret;
}
memset(&info, 0, sizeof(struct i2c_board_info));
info.addr = setup->i2c_address;
strlcpy(info.type, "wm8731", I2C_NAME_SIZE); <--------------------
adapter = i2c_get_adapter(setup->i2c_bus);
if (!adapter) {
dev_err(&pdev->dev, "can't get i2c adapter %d\n",
setup->i2c_bus);
goto err_driver;
}
client = i2c_new_device(adapter, &info); <--------------------
i2c_put_adapter(adapter);
if (!client) {
dev_err(&pdev->dev, "can't add i2c device at 0x%x\n",
(unsigned int)info.addr);
goto err_driver;
}
return 0;
err_driver:
i2c_del_driver(&wm8731_i2c_driver);
return -ENODEV;
}
Order of registrations to i2c driver, i2c device, i2c adapter
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Now that, in the current i2c subsystem, it only support to use i2c device to detect its i2c driver, the revert operation is not avaliable, so it's important to take care of the order to register the three critical components of i2c subsystem. so, generally, i2c driver will be registered first, registration of i2c device comes next, if the i2c device is configured statically and registered with i2c_register_board_info(int busnum,struct i2c_board_info const *info, unsigned len) function, while i2c_add_adapter() or i2c_add_numbered_adapter() is called, the representation of i2c device -- the client is created, and try to detect i2c driver for itself, in the other way, the client is created dynamically by means of invoking i2c_new_device() function, and the same detection behavior is carried out.
In summary, the order of registration is supposed to be:
i2c driver --> i2c adapter --> i2c device.
