i2c_device_id数据结构分析 .

在学习I2c设备驱动drivers/misc/eeprom/at24.c文件中有下面一个数据结构体:

 

static const struct i2c_device_id at24_ids[] = {
    /* needs 8 addresses as A0-A2 are ignored */
    { "24c00", AT24_DEVICE_MAGIC(128 / 8, AT24_FLAG_TAKE8ADDR) },
    /* old variants can't be handled with this generic entry! */
    { "24c01", AT24_DEVICE_MAGIC(1024 / 8, 0) },
    { "24c02", AT24_DEVICE_MAGIC(2048 / 8, 0) },
    /* spd is a 24c02 in memory DIMMs */
    { "spd", AT24_DEVICE_MAGIC(2048 / 8,
        AT24_FLAG_READONLY | AT24_FLAG_IRUGO) },
    { "24c04", AT24_DEVICE_MAGIC(4096 / 8, 0) },
    /* 24rf08 quirk is handled at i2c-core */
    { "24c08", AT24_DEVICE_MAGIC(8192 / 8, 0) },
    { "24c16", AT24_DEVICE_MAGIC(16384 / 8, 0) },
    { "24c32", AT24_DEVICE_MAGIC(32768 / 8, AT24_FLAG_ADDR16) },
    { "24c64", AT24_DEVICE_MAGIC(65536 / 8, AT24_FLAG_ADDR16) },
    { "24c128", AT24_DEVICE_MAGIC(131072 / 8, AT24_FLAG_ADDR16) },
    { "24c256", AT24_DEVICE_MAGIC(262144 / 8, AT24_FLAG_ADDR16) },
    { "24c512", AT24_DEVICE_MAGIC(524288 / 8, AT24_FLAG_ADDR16) },
    { "24c1024", AT24_DEVICE_MAGIC(1048576 / 8, AT24_FLAG_ADDR16) },
    { "at24", 0 },
    { /* END OF LIST */ }
};
MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(i2c, at24_ids);

 

 

 

数据结构i2c_device_id是i2c设备的id_table，他会将linux-3.0/arch/arm/mach-s3c2440/mach-smdk2440.c文件中注册的I2c板级信息，例如：

static struct i2c_board_info __initdata smdk2440_i2c_devs[] = {

    {

        I2C_BOARD_INFO("24c512", 0x50),

        .platform_data = &at24c512,

    },

    /*  more devices can be added using expansion connectors */

}

中I2C_BOARD_INFO("24c512", 0x50)中的设备名信息在函数i2c_register_board_info(0, smdk2440_i2c_devs, ARRAY_SIZE(smdk2440_i2c_devs));中通过使用这个数据结构i2c_device_id，从而构建成i2c_client数据结构。

在i2c_device_id结构中有一项{ "24c512", AT24_DEVICE_MAGIC(524288 / 8, AT24_FLAG_ADDR16) }是EEPROM  AT24C512的id项，其中AT24_DEVICE_MAGIC(524288 / 8, AT24_FLAG_ADDR16) 是在求24c512这个设备独一无二的魔幻数，AT24C512有 524288 bits，所以524288/8的意思是64K个字节。
