Client code wishing to make use of nvec_write_sync() must have a way to free the returned pointer, otherwise we run out of poool memory fairly soon. Signed-off-by: Julian Andres Klode <jak@jak-linux.org> Acked-by: Marc Dietrich <marvin24@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
NVEC: An NVidia compliant Embedded Controller Protocol Implemenation This is an implementation of the NVEC protocol used to communicate with an embedded controller (EC) via I2C bus. The EC is an I2C master while the host processor is the I2C slave. Requests from the host processor to the EC are started by triggering a gpio line. There is no written documentation of the protocol available to the public, but the source code[1] of the published nvec reference drivers can be a guide. This driver is currently only used by the AC100 project[2], but it is likely, that other Tegra boards (not yet mainlined, if ever) also use it.
