Passing the length as a parameter makes no sense when using the SMBus API. Just have tsl2563_read8() which reads a byte and tsl2563_read16() which reads a word, this will be much more efficient, and you get proper type checking for free. > > + if (ret < 0) > > + return 0; /* failure */ > Please return the error, not 0 in event of failure. > > + return len; /* success */ > > + } > > + > > ret = i2c_master_send(client, &cmd, sizeof(cmd)); > > if (ret != sizeof(cmd)) > > return ret; > > @@ -712,6 +734,11 @@ static int __devinit tsl2563_probe(struct i2c_client *client, > > int err = 0; > > int ret; > > u8 id; > > + u32 smbus_func = I2C_FUNC_SMBUS_BYTE_DATA | I2C_FUNC_SMBUS_WORD_DATA; > Can this be const?

This is technically correct, as the function doesn't modify the parameter, however this change has no effect on the caller. func is passed by value, not address, so the caller doesn't care at all whether i2c_check_functionality modifies it locally or not. There are a lot of places where such by-value parameters could be made const, however nobody bothers, because it makes the function declarations harder to read for virtually no benefit (as opposed to const pointers, which do have value for the caller.) > For that matter, this code should probably just have that > value inline in the function call as it isn't used anywhere else. +1 > > > + /* We support both I2C and SMBUS adapter interfaces. */ > > + if (i2c_check_functionality(client->adapter, smbus_func)) > > + use_smbus = 1; > > > > indio_dev = iio_allocate_device(sizeof(*chip)); > > if (!indio_dev) > -- Jean Delvare -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
