Hi,
I am actually working to add a new driver to u-boot related to Trusted Platform Module (TPM) for embedded system. (On a u-boot version 2009.11) I would be interested to know:
what is the process to do the submission ?
Read up http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/Patches
Because the available i2c interfaces looks to be only for i2c memory (such as eeprom memory), I had to rework some i2c interfaces to be able to send directly my TPM command/data through the i2c bus. This mean write or read some data directly on the i2c bus without sending any offset byte.
You can do that with the current i2c drivers by making sure that adrlen=0.
Will it be acceptable for the community to add those two new interfaces (i2c_write_direct/i2c_read_direct) for each i2c driver ?
I would think they are unneeded, see the adrlen=0 trick. (If I were to suggest an I2C overhaul [hi Heiko :)], I'd rather suggest adding a generic i2c transaction API which would allow mixing elementary writes and reads with optional STARTs and STOPs inbetween).
Is there any coding style specification ?
Look up <>http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/CodingStyle%3E (actually many topics are covered, see left column).
Thanks for your help
np :)
