2009-10-04i2c: Hide probe errors caused by ACPI resource conflictsJean Delvare
When an ACPI resource conflict is detected, error messages are already printed by ACPI. There's no point in causing the driver core to print more error messages, so return one of the error codes for which no message is printed. This fixes bug #14293: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14293 Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>

2009-09-18i2c/tsl2550: Use combined SMBus transactionsJean Delvare
Make the I/O faster, mainly by using combined SMBus transactions when possible. While the TSL2550 datasheet doesn't say the device supports them, they seem to work just fine in practice, and a combined transaction is faster than two simple transactions in many cases and always more reliable. A side effect is to suppress the delays between SMBus writes and reads. The datasheet doesn't say they are needed and things work just fine for me without them. I also couldn't see any reason for the delay between reading the two channels. Nor for the loop to get a reading in the first place. The 400 ms delay between samples only matters at chip power-up, after that the chip always hold the previously sampled value so we never get to wait. All these changes make reading the lux value much faster and cheaper.
