-- Legacy I2C Support: CONFIG_SOFT_I2C
-
- NOTE: It is intended to move drivers to CONFIG_SYS_I2C which
- provides the following compelling advantages:
-
- - more than one i2c adapter is usable
- - approved multibus support
- - better i2c mux support
-
- ** CONFIG_SOFT_I2C is now being removed **
-
- With CONFIG_SOFT_I2C you will need to define
- CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SPEED to be the frequency (in Hz) at which you
- wish your i2c bus to run and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to be the
- address of this node (ie the CPU's i2c node address).
-
- Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx
- (arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c) sets the CPU up as a master node
- and so its address should therefore be cleared to 0 (See,
- eg, MPC823e User's Manual p.16-473). So, set
- CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to 0.
-
- When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
- chips might think that the current transfer is still
- in progress. Reset the slave devices by sending start
- commands until the slave device responds.
-
- That's all that's required for CONFIG_HARD_I2C.

+- Legacy I2C Support:
If you use the software i2c interface (CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT)
then the following macros need to be defined (examples are
from include/configs/lwmon.h):
