Defend the i2c refcount calls against NULL pointers, as is important

callers of i2c_use_client() use its return value.

Jean Delvare 60b129d7bf i2c: Match dummy devices by type
As the old driver_name/type matching scheme is going away soon, change
the dummy device mechanism to use the new matching scheme.

This has the downside that dummy i2c clients can no longer choose
their name, they'll all appear as "dummy" in sysfs and in log
messages. I don't think it is a problem in practice though, as there
is little reason to use these i2c clients to log messages.

This goes on top of the patch removing most i2c_adapter.clients usage,
updating i2c_attach_client:

 - Don't call device_register() while holding clist_lock.  This
   removes a self-deadlock when on the i2c_driver.probe() path,
   for drivers that need to attach new devices (e.g. dummies).

 - Remove a redundant address check.  The driver model core does
   this as a consequence of guaranteeing unique names.

 - Move the "device registered" diagnostic so that it never lies;
   previously, on error paths it would falsely report success.

David Brownell 9b766b814d i2c: Stop using the redundant client list
The i2c_adapter.clients list of i2c_client nodes duplicates driver
model state.  This patch starts removing that list, letting us remove
most existing users of those i2c-core lists.

 * The core I2C code now iterates over the driver model's list instead
   of the i2c-internal one in some places where it's safe:
      - Passing a command/ioctl to each client, a mechanims
        used almost exclusively by DVB adapters;
      - Device address checking, in both i2c-core and i2c-dev.

 * Provide i2c_verify_client() to use with driver model iterators.

 * Flag the relevant i2c_adapter and i2c_client fields as deprecated,
   to help prevent new users from appearing.

For the moment the list needs to stick around, since some issues show
up when deleting devices created by legacy I2C drivers.  (They don't
follow standard driver model rules.  Removing those devices can cause
self-deadlocks.)

 - The i2c_control() call, used only by i2c-dev to call that

Jean Delvare 4b2643d7d9 i2c: Fix the i2c_smbus_read_i2c_block_data() prototype
Let the drivers specify how many bytes they want to read with
i2c_smbus_read_i2c_block_data(). So far, the block count was
hard-coded to I2C_SMBUS_BLOCK_MAX (32), which did not make much sense.
Many driver authors complained about this before, and I believe it's
about time to fix it. Right now, authors have to do technically stupid
things, such as individual byte reads or full-fledged I2C messaging,
to work around the problem. We do not want to encourage that.

I even found that some bus drivers (e.g. i2c-amd8111) already
implemented I2C block read the "right" way, that is, they didn't
follow the old, broken standard. The fact that it was never noticed
before just shows how little i2c_smbus_read_i2c_block_data() was used,
which isn't that surprising given how broken its prototype was so far.

There are some obvious compatiblity considerations:
* This changes the i2c_smbus_read_i2c_block_data() prototype. Users
  outside the kernel tree will notice at compilation time, and will
  have to update their code.
* User-space has access to i2c_smbus_xfer() directly using i2c-dev, so
  the changed expectations would affect tools such as i2cdump. In order
  to preserve binary compatibility, we give I2C_SMBUS_I2C_BLOCK_DATA
  a new numeric value, and define I2C_SMBUS_I2C_BLOCK_BROKEN with the
  old numeric value. When i2c-dev receives a transaction with the
  old value, it can convert it to the new format on the fly.

Jean Delvare 12b5053ac5 i2c: Add i2c_new_probed_device()
Add a new helper function to instantiate an i2c device. It is meant as a
replacement for i2c_new_device() when you don't know for sure at which
address your I2C/SMBus device lives. This happens frequently on TV
adapters for example, you know there is a tuner chip on the bus, but
depending on the exact board model and revision, it can live at different
addresses. So, the new i2c_new_probed_device() function will probe the bus
according to a list of addresses, and as soon as one of these addresses
responds, it will call i2c_new_device() on that one address.

This function will make it possible to port the old i2c drivers to the
new model quickly.

This completes the core support for "new style" I2C device drivers.
Those follow the standard driver model for binding devices to drivers
(using probe and remove methods) rather than a legacy model (where the
driver tries to autoconfigure each bus, and registers devices itself).

way a given I2C device is wired may affect how it must be used.

There are two models for declaring such devices:

 * LATE -- using a public function i2c_new_device().  This lets modules
   declare I2C devices found *AFTER* a given I2C adapter becomes available.
   
   For example, a PCI card could create adapters giving access to utility
   chips on that card, and this would be used to associate those chips with
   those adapters.

 * EARLY -- from arch_initcall() level code, using a non-exported function
   i2c_register_board_info().  This copies the declarations *BEFORE* such
   an i2c_adapter becomes available, arranging that i2c_new_device() will
   be called later when i2c-core registers the relevant i2c_adapter.

   For example, arch/.../.../board-*.c files would declare the I2C devices
   along with their platform data, and I2C devices would behave much like
   PNPACPI devices.  (That is, both enumerate from board-specific tables.)

To match the exported i2c_new_device(), the previously-private function
i2c_unregister_device() is now exported.

Pending later patches using these new APIs, this is effectively a NOP.

David Brownell a1d9e6e49f i2c: i2c stack can remove()
More update for new style driver support:  add a remove() method, and
use it in the relevant code paths.

Again, nothing will use this yet since there's nothing to create devices
feeding this infrastructure.

David Brownell 7b4fbc50fa i2c: i2c stack can probe()
One of a series of I2C infrastructure updates to support enumeration using
the standard Linux driver model.

This patch updates probe() and associated hotplug/coldplug support, but
not remove().  Nothing yet _uses_ it to create I2C devices, so those
hotplug/coldplug mechanisms will be the only externally visible change.
This patch will be an overall NOP since the I2C stack doesn't yet create
clients/devices except as part of binding them to legacy drivers.

Some code is moved earlier in the source code, helping group more of the
per-device infrastructure in one place and simplifying handling per-device
attributes.

Terminology being adopted:  "legacy drivers" create devices (i2c_client)
themselves, while "new style" ones follow the driver model (the i2c_client
is handed to the probe routine).  It's an either/or thing; the two models
don't mix, and drivers that try mixing them won't even be registered.

Jean Delvare 209d27c3b1 i2c: Emulate SMBus block read over I2C
Let the I2C bus drivers emulate the SMBus Block Read and Block Process
Call transactions if they wish. This requires to define a new message
flag, which i2c-core will use to let the underlying I2C bus driver
know that the first received byte will specify the length of the read
message.
