Ian Lepore c3c16dce19 Make i2c -s (device scan) work on hardware that supports only full xfers. ... The existing scan code is based on sending an i2c START condition and if there is no error it assumes there is a device at that i2c address. Some i2c controllers don't support sending individual start/stop signals on the bus, they can only perform complete data transfers with start/stop handled in the silicon. This adds a fallback mechanism that attempts to read a single byte from each i2c address. It's less reliable than looking for an an ACK repsonse to a start, because some devices will NAK an attempt to read that isn't preceeded by a write of a register address. Writing to devices to probe them is too dangerous to even consider. The user is told that a less-reliable scan is being done, so even if the read-scan comes up empty too, it's still a vast improvement over the old situation where it would just claim there were no devices on the bus even though the devices were there and working fine. If the i2c controller responds with a proper ENODEV (device doesn't support operation) or an almost-proper EOPNOTSUPP, the START/STOP scan is switched to a read-scan right away. Most controllers respond with ENXIO or EIO if they don't support START/STOP, so no quick-out is available. For those, if a scan of all 127 addresses and come up empty, the scan is re-done using the read method. Reported by: Maxim Filimonov <che@bein.link>		2017-09-11 21:49:38 +00:00
