Re: [PATCH 0/2] Add support for Infineon Digital eFuse XDP730

Hi Guenter,

Thanks for your time and response.
You are entirely correct that the XDP720 and XDP730 drivers are 99% identical.
The only functional difference between the two variants lies within
their GIMON values.

To programmatically identify whether the current target device is an
XDP720 or an XDP730, the system must query the MFR_MODEL register.
Because this register is 8 bytes long, it requires an I2C Block Read
operation to retrieve the model identifier string.
However, some embedded I2C controllers do not natively support I2C Block Reads.
It is precisely due to this hardware controller limitation that we
proposed developing two separate drivers, ensuring reliable
compatibility across different system architectures.

As a better alternative, an elegant solution to consolidate this into
a single driver is to utilize the i2c_transfer() API to read the
MFR_MODEL register.
Please let me know if you have any questions regarding this approach.

With Best Regards,
   Ashish Yadav
