[U-Boot] [PATCH] cmd_i2c.c: added command to read to memory

From: Frans <frans@frans.(none)>
Added a new function i2c read to read to memory. That way it becomes possible to test against a value and use that to influence the boot process.
Design decision was to stay close to the i2c md command with respect to command syntax.

Why is this function needed? Do you read from an EEprom? If so, you can use the eeprom command, or?

Ah, I see, but again, if you read from an eeprom, use the eeprom command.

Or, you convert it, as Detlev suggested here:
http://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2010-February/067893.html
This would be the preferred way.
While writting here, and your code is just a copy from "i2c md" maybe you can just modify the i2c md command, to something like that:
"i2c md {i2c_chip} {addr}{.0, .1, .2} {len} {memaddr}"
If there is a "memaddr", the i2c md command don;t print the values, but it writes them to the memaddr ...

Ah, I see, but again, if you read from an eeprom, use the eeprom command.
The intention is to be able to read from / write to any I2C device, not only EEPROMs. For example, assume to read a time from a RTC, or a temperature from a DTT.
- /*

- memaddr = (u_char *)simple_strtoul(argv[4], NULL, 16);

No such check should be added.
Note that 0 _is_ a valid address in many systems (for example, on all Power Architecture systems, 0 is the begin of the system RAM and can be read and written without problems).

BTW: incorrect brace style.

We are not talking about EEPROMs here. If you want to access EEPROMs, you can use the EEPROM command. The "i2c" command set is for low-level access to I2C devices, and you are supposed to know what you are doing.

Agreed - these changes are bogus. As Detlev pointed out, the subcommand handling should be reworked.
While writting here, and your code is just a copy from "i2c md" maybe you can just modify the i2c md command, to something like that:
"i2c md {i2c_chip} {addr}{.0, .1, .2} {len} {memaddr}"
If there is a "memaddr", the i2c md command don;t print the values, but it writes them to the memaddr ...
This seems unlogical to me. First, this would cover only reading, but we also want to add support for writing. Second, what would "md" store to memory? The raw content or an ASCII hex dump of it? From the command name, it should store a hex dump - which is not what we are looking for.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk

Yep you are right, that was no good idea. Also the "len" argument in the "i2c md" command is optional!

Hi Frans,
From: Frans <frans@frans.(none)>
You should adjust your git settings before committing to git, i.e. do a "git config --global user.email <your e-mail>". Otherwise "git email sends mails to "frans@frans" as already happened if you check the headers.
Cheers Detlev
