OK, it works, I will admit it's even kind of clever, but it also looks fragile and confusing to some degree. What is wrong with just spelling out the condition explicitly? unsigned smbus_limit = (chip.flags & AT24_FLAG_ADDR16) ? I2C_SMBUS_BLOCK_MAX - 1 : I2C_SMBUS_BLOCK_MAX; if (use_smbus && write_max > smbus_limit) write_max = smbus_limit; This might not even be slower, and IMHO it is easier to understand. > at24->write_max = write_max; > > /* buffer (data + address at the beginning) */ I have no objection to this patch being merged into the upstream kernel, but ultimately this is Wolfram's call.

There's nothing wrong with your suggestion. My original intent was to change the test as little as necessary. I see the improved clarity of your suggestion. -Aaron S. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-i2c" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

Previously, the at24 driver would bail out in the case of a 16-bit addressable EEPROM attached to an SMBus controller. This is because SMBus block reads and writes don't map to I2C multi-byte reads and writes when the offset portion is 2 bytes. Instead of bailing out, this patch settles for functioning with single byte read SMBus cycles. Writes can be block or single-byte, depending on SMBus controller features. Read access is not without some risk. Multiple SMBus cycles are required to read even one byte. If the SMBus has multiple masters and one accesses this EEPROM between the dummy address write and the subsequent current-address-read cycle(s), this driver will receive data from the wrong address. Functionality has been tested with the following devices: AT24CM01 attached to Intel ISCH SMBus AT24C512 attached to Intel I801 SMBus Read performance: 3.6 KB/s with 32-byte* access *limited to 32-bytes by I2C_SMBUS_BLOCK_MAX.
