This patch adds the ability to enable the digital filter in the device
tree (with the "clock-filter" boolean property) and automates the
predivider selection according to the clock-frequency and clock-filter
properties.

This patch is against 2.6.27.

To use the full range of I2C clock frequencies supported by the
Freescale CPM I2C controller, it is necessary to choose an appropriate
predivider value.  The choice is affected by whether the SCL signal
digital filter is enabled.

The existing code computes the final divider (i2brg) but always uses
a predivider of 32.  This can set illegal values in i2brg - for example
on a machine with 25 MHz BRG_CLK, when selecting I2C clock-frequency
97656 Hz, the code was loading i2brg with the value 1, which does not
work (the CPM requires a minimum value of 3 when the digital filter is
not enabled).  Additionally, the calculation did not work when the
filter is enabled (and the driver did not provide a way to enable it).

And by the way, thanks to Jochen Friedrich for integrating this driver
on the very day that I went looking for it.  :-)

looks good.

David, is "clock-filter" an appropriate dts property for this purpose or
would you prefer a different name?

What needs to be done though is to document this change in
Documentation/powerpc/dts-bindings/fsl/cpm_qe/cpm/i2c.txt.

Thanks,
Jochen

Hrm, well the name seems fine, but then, device-specific properties
are device-specific so it's pretty much up to the device binding to
pick a name.

What does worry me, however, is the description says it's about
whether the driver "should" enable the filter.  Generally the device
tree doesn't attempt to say what users "should" do with the hardware,
just what the characteristics of the hardware are.

What's the underlying difference here that affects the driver's choice
to enable the filter or not?

I think it's a hardware/environment design parameter - e.g. if the I2C
bus has hot-pluggable devices, long PCB traces, or a hierarchy of
multiplexed bus segments, these can result in a noisy SCL signal that
needs to be filtered.  It's also a recommended mitigation for errata
in certain CPU revs.

Ah, ok.  Well the CPU revision thing could be selected based on the
CPU revision, but the other conditions are a property of the board
wiring.  Obviously it's hard to precisely characterize what it says
about the hardware, which is usually best avoided for devtree
properties, but I can see why this is more-or-less unavoidable in this
case.

Ok.  This property name and meaning looks ok to me.  I would suggest a
note in the binding roughly explaining what leads to the property
being set (basically what you just told me in the paragraph above).

 wrong I2C list]

Will do.  I'll send a revised patch shortly.
