[PATCH v5] iio: humidity: ens210: Fix missing I2C functionality checks

From: Salah Triki

Date: Wed May 06 2026 - 06:08:57 EST


The ENS210 driver uses SMBus transactions (such as byte, word, and block
data reads/writes) during the probe and measurement phases. However, the
initial functionality check only validated a subset of these capabilities,
which could lead to loading failures on adapters requiring SMBus
emulation or native-only controllers.

To ensure compatibility across a wide range of I2C adapters, modify the
functionality check to verify if the adapter supports the required native
operations or, failing that, supports the SMBus emulation layer.

Changes since v4:
- Fixed the alignment and indentation of the I2C functionality check
per Andy's review.

Changes since v3:
- Fixed the alignment and indentation of the I2C functionality check
per Andy's review.

Changes since v2:
- Fixed the alignment and indentation of the I2C functionality check
per Maxime's review.

Changes since v1:
- Updated the I2C functionality test to check for both required native
operations and SMBus emulation (`I2C_FUNC_SMBUS_EMUL`) to prevent
loading issues on controllers lacking the emulation flag.
