i2c/pca9539.c文件的新模式probe疑问

[ydd19881005ydd]

linux内核是2.6.28的
新模式下client从哪里来的，我在网站上看到有人说是在i2c_register_info（）函数调用过程中注册的，可是我仔细看了下i2c_register_info()函数，没有涉及到client额，还有新模式下pca9539_detect()函数主要完成些什么功能呢?
望大侠们指教一二，小弟不胜感激！

看i2c-core.c里面的内容
struct i2c_client *
i2c_new_device(struct i2c_adapter *adap, struct i2c_board_info const *info)
{
struct i2c_client *client;
int status;

client = kzalloc(sizeof *client, GFP_KERNEL);
if (!client)
return NULL;

client->adapter = adap;

client->dev.platform_data = info->platform_data;

if (info->archdata)
client->dev.archdata = *info->archdata;

client->flags = info->flags;
client->addr = info->addr;
client->irq = info->irq;

strlcpy(client->name, info->type, sizeof(client->name));

/* Check for address business */
status = i2c_check_addr(adap, client->addr);
if (status)
goto out_err;

client->dev.parent = &client->adapter->dev;
client->dev.bus = &i2c_bus_type;
client->dev.type = &i2c_client_type;

dev_set_name(&client->dev, "%d-%04x", i2c_adapter_id(adap),
client->addr);
status = device_register(&client->dev);
if (status)
goto out_err;

dev_dbg(&adap->dev, "client [%s] registered with bus id %s\n",
client->name, dev_name(&client->dev));

return client;

out_err:
dev_err(&adap->dev, "Failed to register i2c client %s at 0x%02x "
"(%d)\n", client->name, client->addr, status);
kfree(client);
return NULL;
}

上面注册到dev，这里面通过总线的probe找到自己的probe
static int i2c_device_probe(struct device *dev)
{
struct i2c_client *client = i2c_verify_client(dev);
struct i2c_driver *driver;
int status;

if (!client)
return 0;

driver = to_i2c_driver(dev->driver);
if (!driver->probe || !driver->id_table)
return -ENODEV;
client->driver = driver;
if (!device_can_wakeup(&client->dev))
device_init_wakeup(&client->dev,
client->flags & I2C_CLIENT_WAKE);
dev_dbg(dev, "probe\n");

status = driver->probe(client, i2c_match_id(driver->id_table, client));
if (status)
client->driver = NULL;
return status;
}

看到现在我们应该会有这样的疑问，在Adapter模式中，i2c_client是我们自己构造出来的，而现在的i2c_client是从哪来的呢？看看下面的解释

● 注册i2c_board_info

对于Probe模式，通常在平台代码中要完成i2c_board_info的注册。方法如下：

static struct i2c_board_info __initdata test_i2c_devices[] = {
{
I2C_BOARD_INFO("pca9555", 0x27),//pca9555为芯片名称，0x27为芯片地址
.platform_data = &pca9555_data,
}, {
I2C_BOARD_INFO("mt9v022", 0x48),
.platform_data = &iclink[0], /* With extender */
}, {
I2C_BOARD_INFO("mt9m001", 0x5d),
.platform_data = &iclink[0], /* With extender */
},
};
i2c_register_board_info(0, test_i2c_devices,ARRAY_SIZE(test_i2c_devices)); //注册

i2c_client就是在注册过程中构建的。但有一点需要注意的是i2c_register_board_info并没有EXPORT_SYMBOL给模块使用。

我也在弄，还不是很清楚，这个也许对你有用。
