Some months ago, you killed the address ranges mechanism from all
sensors i2c chip drivers (both the module parameters and the in-code
address lists). I think it was a very good move, as the ranges can
easily be replaced by individual addresses, and this allowed for
significant cleanups in the i2c core (let alone the impressive size
shrink for all these drivers).
Unfortunately you did not do the same for non-sensors i2c chip drivers.
These need the address ranges even less, so we could get rid of the
ranges here as well for another significant i2c core cleanup. Here comes
a patch which does just that. Since the process is exactly the same as
what you did for the other drivers set already, I did not split this one
in parts.
A documentation update is included.
The change saves 308 bytes in the i2c core, and an average 1382 bytes
for chip drivers which use I2C_CLIENT_INSMOD, 126 bytes for those which
do not.
This change is required if we want to merge the sensors and non-sensors
i2c code (and we want to do this).

Finally (phew!) this patch demonstrates how to adapt the adm1026 to
take advantage of the new callbacks, and the i2c-sysfs.h defined
structure/macros. Most of the other sensor/hwmon drivers could be
updated in the same way. The odd few exceptions (bmcsensors for
example) however might be better off with their own custom attribute
structure.

This patch fixes "grave" bugs in i2c-ali1563 driver. It seems on recent
chipset revisions the HSTS_DONE is set only for block transfers, so we
must detect the end of ordinary transaction other way. Also due to missing
and mask, setting other transfer modes was not possible. Moreover the
continous byte mode transfer uses DAT0 for command rather than CMD command.
All those changes were tested with help of Chunhao Huang from Winbond.
I'm willing to maintain the driver. Second patch adds me as maintainer
if this is neccessary.

The latest speedbumped Apple G5 models have a "bug" in the Open Firmware
device tree that lacks the proper interrupt routing information for the
northbridge i2c controller. Apple's driver silently falls back into a
sub-optimal "polled" mode (heh, maybe they didn't even notice the bug
because of that :), our driver didn't properly check and crashes :(
This patch fixes our driver to not crash, and adds code to the
prom_init() OF trampoline code that detects the "bug" and adds the
missing information back for this chipset revision. This fixes booting
and thermal control on these models.

All boards dealt with by I2C_MPC are 32bit. Moreover, driver simply
won't build on ppc64 - it uses ppc32-only types all over the place.
Dependency fixed - it's PPC32, not PPC.

The it87 and via686a hardware monitoring drivers each create a sysfs
file named "alarms" in R/W mode, while they should really create it in
read-only mode. Since we don't provide a store function for these files,
write attempts to these files will do something undefined (I guess) and
bad (I am sure). My own try resulted in a locked terminal (where I
attempted the write) and a 100% CPU load until next reboot.
As a side note, wouldn't it make sense to check, when creating sysfs
files, that readable files have a non-NULL show method, and writable
files have a non-NULL store method? I know drivers are not supposed to
do stupid things, but there is already a BUG_ON for several conditions
in sysfs_create_file, so maybe we could add two more?

Here comes a small cleanup patch for the via686a driver. I noticed the
following two non-fatal problems:
1* The device parent is explicitely set, but it's not needed because the
i2c core will do as the client is registered.
2* snprintf is used where strlcpy would suffice.
Fixing them brings the via686a driver in line with what other similar
drivers do.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
