+===============================================
+Device Tree for I2C slave message queue backend
+===============================================
+
+Some protocols over I2C/SMBus are designed for bi-directional transferring
+messages by using I2C Master Write protocol. This requires that both sides
+of the communication have slave addresses.
So the address 0x10 in the example below is the address of the I2C
controller?

+
+This I2C slave mqueue (message queue) is used to receive and queue
Hi Rob, This is mqueue comes from, not from specs directly.
+messages from the remote i2c intelligent device; and it will add the target
+slave address (with R/W# bit is always 0) into the message at the first byte.

+Required Properties:
+- compatible : should be "i2c-slave-mqueue"
There is no mention of mqueue (or queue) in these specs. Where does that
come from? Perhaps something more closely matching the protocol would be
better name.

+- reg : slave address
+
+Example:
+
+i2c {
Would there be other slaves?

The common binding states 'multi-master' property should be present.

I need a more complete example.

+ slave_mqueue: i2c-slave-mqueue {
+ compatible = "i2c-slave-mqueue";
+ reg = <0x10>;

Hi Eduardo,

Looks like the slave reg missed the key value bit:

Example: reg = <(I2C_OWN_SLAVE_ADDRESS | 0x42)>;
