You will have to instantiate the devices explicitly. +Please see Documentation/i2c/instantiating-devices.rst for details. + + +Usage Notes +----------- + +This driver requires the I2C adapter driver to support raw I2C messages. I2C +adapter drivers which can only handle the SMBus protocol are not supported. + +The maximum SPI message size supported by SC18IS602/603 is 200 bytes. Attempts +to initiate longer transfers will fail with -EINVAL. EEPROM read operations and +similar large accesses have to be split into multiple chunks of no more than +200 bytes per SPI message (128 bytes of data per message is recommended). This +means that programs such as "cp" or "od", which automatically use large block +sizes to access a device, can not be used directly to read data from EEPROM. +Programs such as dd, where the block size can be specified, should be used +instead. -- cgit v1.2.3
