i2c: Fix device name for 10-bit slave address
10-bit addresses overlap with traditional 7-bit addresses, leading in device name collisions. Add an arbitrary offset to 10-bit addresses to prevent this collision. The offset was chosen so that the address is still easily recognizable. Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org> Acked-by: Wolfram Sang <w.sang@pengutronix.de>

The I2C protocol knows about two kinds of device addresses: normal 7 bit
|
||||
addresses, and an extended set of 10 bit addresses. The sets of addresses
|
||||
do not intersect: the 7 bit address 0x10 is not the same as the 10 bit
|
||||
address 0x10 (though a single device could respond to both of them). You
|
||||
select a 10 bit address by adding an extra byte after the address
|
||||
byte:
|
||||
S Addr7 Rd/Wr ....
|
||||
becomes
|
||||
S 11110 Addr10 Rd/Wr
|
||||
S is the start bit, Rd/Wr the read/write bit, and if you count the number
|
||||
of bits, you will see the there are 8 after the S bit for 7 bit addresses,
|
||||
and 16 after the S bit for 10 bit addresses.
|
||||
address 0x10 (though a single device could respond to both of them).
|
||||
|
||||
WARNING! The current 10 bit address support is EXPERIMENTAL. There are
|
||||
several places in the code that will cause SEVERE PROBLEMS with 10 bit
|
||||
addresses, even though there is some basic handling and hooks. Also,
|
||||
almost no supported adapter handles the 10 bit addresses correctly.
|
||||
I2C messages to and from 10-bit address devices have a different format.
|
||||
See the I2C specification for the details.
|
||||
|
||||
As soon as a real 10 bit address device is spotted 'in the wild', we
|
||||
can and will add proper support. Right now, 10 bit address devices
|
||||
are defined by the I2C protocol, but we have never seen a single device
|
||||
which supports them.
|
||||
The current 10 bit address support is minimal. It should work, however
|
||||
you can expect some problems along the way:
|
||||
* Not all bus drivers support 10-bit addresses. Some don't because the
|
||||
hardware doesn't support them (SMBus doesn't require 10-bit address
|
||||
support for example), some don't because nobody bothered adding the
|
||||
code (or it's there but not working properly.) Software implementation
|
||||
(i2c-algo-bit) is known to work.
|
||||
* Some optional features do not support 10-bit addresses. This is the
|
||||
case of automatic detection and instantiation of devices by their,
|
||||
drivers, for example.
|
||||
* Many user-space packages (for example i2c-tools) lack support for
|
||||
10-bit addresses.
|
||||
|
||||
Note that 10-bit address devices are still pretty rare, so the limitations
|
||||
listed above could stay for a long time, maybe even forever if nobody
|
||||
needs them to be fixed.
