Hi!

This bus driver supports the Single-wire Serial Bus Interface (SSBI)
controller in the Qualcomm MSM SOCs. SSBI is not an I2C but is
functionally related enough such that it is able to leaverage the I2C
framework.

Unlike I2C, SSBI is a point-to-point connection, and therefore there is no
need to specify a slave device address. The SSBI implementation
overrides the slave device address to be a device register address

Then perhaps it should not go to drivers/i2c?


I'd like to make use of the i2c framework rather than implement something else. Are you suggesting that the driver reside elsewhere (i.e. mach-msm) or that the driver not use the i2c framework?

thanks.
