shouldn't the dependancies in Kconfig updated (depends on REGMAP) too?

Since the patch only provides read only support this function could return 0.

Hi Stefan

This is why the patch is RFC.

REGMAP has stub implementations for when it is not. NVMEM also has
stub implementations. NVMEM does however select REGMAP. So it should
be possible to compile this driver without NVMEM support. Hopefully
0day will find my git branch and compile it in different ways to see
if i've got this right.

As part of RFC, is this O.K?

Another question which spring to mind is, do we want the eeprom to be
in /sys twice, the old and the new way? Backwards compatibility says
the old must stay. Do we want a way to suppress the new? Or should we
be going as far as refractoring the code into a core library, and two
wrapper drivers, old and new?

Humm, the comment is out of date. Regmap does not work too well
without a write method. So i ended up implementing it. But it has
hardly been tested, where as i have hammered on read.

Thanks

I think these are questions for the framework maintainers.

I think you didn't understand my comment. I know the write function is
necessary, but
calling at24_write() instead of simply returning 0 does make no sense to me.

One of the reasons for the NVMEM framework is to remove that duplicate 
code in the every driver.  There was no framework/ABI which was guiding 
such old eeprom sysfs entry in first place, so I dont see an issue in 
removing it for good. Correct me if am wrong.

IMHO, its better to move on with nvmem for good reasons, rather than 
having two sysfs binary files.

The reason for keeping it is backwards compatibility. Having the
contents of the EEPROM as a file in /sys via this driver is now a part
of the Linux ABI. You cannot argue it is not an ABI, just because
there is no framework. Userspace will be assuming it exists at the
specified location. So we cannot remove it, for existing uses of the
driver.

However, for new uses of this driver, it is O.K. to only have the
NVMEM file.

Am Ok as long as someone is happy to maintain it.

Wolfram Sang has been maintaining the AT24 driver since 2008. We need
his ACK to this change, and since this is an i2c driver, he is also
probably the path into mainline for this change.

But we should also look at the bigger picture. The AT25, MAX6875 and
sunxi_sid drivers also have a binary file in /sys. It would be good to
have some sort of plan what to do with these drivers, even if at the
moment only AT24 is under discussion.

Hi Andrew,

Thanks for the patch, few comments other than Stefan's comments.

?? Not sure Why this code is still needed. Can't we remove it?

Is this the the same binary file which is exposed by nvmem in 
/sys/bus/nvmem too?
