And that's exactly what I expose in i3c_device_info, which is embedded
in i3c_device, so you should have all the information you need to
determine the speed in the controller driver if ->priv_xfer() is passed
the device attached to those transfers. Would that be okay if we pass an
i3c_device object to ->priv_xfers()?

No, that's not what happens. The master controller is supposed to
continue until no one replies with an Ack on the bus, and by continue I
don't mean resend an ENTDAA, but issue a RepeatedStart followed by the
broadcast address (0x7e).

My understanding was that SETDASA was not mandatory, and was only useful
when one wants to assign a specific dynamic address to a slave that has
a static address (which is again not mandatory).
I've tested it, and even devices with a static address participate to
the DAA procedure if they've not been assigned a dynamic address yet,
so I don't see the need for this SETDASA step if you don't need to
assign a particular dynamic address to the device.

Could you tell me why you think SETDASA is required?

Actually, I was wrong when initially mentioning this table: it's about
I2C features supported on I3C slaves, so not really what we're looking
for. Here, we're wondering if I2C-only devices can have 10-bit
addresses. The Cadence controller supports that, so there's probably
nothing preventing use of 10-bit addresses for I2C transfers, but maybe
not all I3C master controllers support that, so we should probably
let the I3C master driver implement this method.

> BTW it is optional on I2C devices.

You mean I2C controllers? When an I2C device has a 10bit address, the
controller has to support this mode to communicate with the device, at
least that's my understanding. But we're digressing a bit. The
question is not whether I2C devices can optionally use a 10 bit
address, but whether I3C master controller can support this mode for
I2C transfers to I2C-only devices.

It's an emum, and there's no mention of the SDRX modes you're using
here in the I3C spec. I guess it's named this way in your I3C
controller datasheet. I personally don't see a good reason to add SDRX
in the name, but if you insist...

Well, I think it's pretty clear in the definition you'll find in the

Not only, it can be after a Hot-Join, or after the user has triggered a
new DAA. Anyway, these information are retrieved anytime you add a
device with i3c_master_add_i3c_dev_locked(), and the core uses CCC
commands to do that.

No. Only ENTDAA can trigger a DAA procedure. SETDASA is here to assign
a single dynamic address to a device that already has a static address
but no dynamic address yet, and SETNEWDA is here to modify the dynamic
address of a device that already has one.

Can you detail a bit more? If the only part you're complaining about is
pre-assignment of dynamic addresses with SETDASA when a device is
declared in the DT with a reg and dynamic-address property, then yes, I
think I can provide an helper for that. But this helper would still have
to be called from the master controller driver (from ->bus_init() or
after a Hot-Join).

Now, if the question is, is there a way we can automate things even more
and completely implement DAA from the core? I doubt it, because the way
the core will trigger DAA, expose discovered devices or allow you to
declare manually assigned addresses is likely to be
controller-dependent.
When I designed the framework I took the decision to base my work on the
spec rather than focusing on the I3C master controller I had to support
(Cadence). This is the reason I decided to keep the interface as simple
as possible at the risk of encouraging code-duplication (at first)
rather than coming up with an interface that is designed with a single
controller in mind and having to break things every time a new
controller comes out.

Thank you for you comments, but I'd like to know if some of my design
choices are blocking you to support your controller. What I've seen so
far is a collection of things that might be relevant to fix (though
most of them are subject to interpretation and/or a matter of taste),
but nothing that should really block you.
