Subject: [PATCH v2] virtio-i2c: add the device specification


virtio-i2c is a virtual I2C adapter device. It provides a way
to ïexibly communicate with the I2C slave devices from the guest.

This patch adds the specification for this device.

+\section{I2C Adapter Device}\label{sec:Device Types / I2C Adapter Device}
+
+virtio-i2c is a virtual I2C adapter device. It provides a way to flexibly
+organize and manage I2C slave devices from the guest. By attaching ACPI
+I2C slave nodes to the virtual I2C adapter device, the guest can
+communicate with them without changing or adding extra drivers for these
+slave I2C devices.

+\begin{enumerate}

+\end{enumerate}
+
+\subsection{Device Operation}\label{sec:Device Types / I2C Adapter Device / Device Operation}
+
+The driver queues requests to the virtqueues, and they are used by the
+device. The request is the representation of one segment of an I2C
+transaction. Each request is of form:
+
+\begin{lstlisting}
+struct virtio_i2c_req {
+        le16 addr;
+        le16 flags;
+        le16 len;
+        u8 buf[];
+        u8 status;
+};
+\end{lstlisting}
+
+The \field{addr} is the address of the I2C slave device.
+
+The first bit of \field{flags} indicates whether it is a read or write request.
+It means a read request if the first bit of \field{flags} is set, otherwise
+it is a write request. The rest bits of \field{flags} are reserved.
+
+The \field{len} is the number of data bytes in the \field{buf} being read from or
+written to the I2C slave address.
+
+The \field{buf} of the request contains one segment of an I2C transaction.
+If the first bit of \field{flags} is '1', the \field{buf} is written by the
+device and it contains one segment of an I2C transaction being read from the
+device. If the first bit of \field{flags} is '0', the \field{buf} is written
+by the driver and it contains one segment of an I2C transaction being written
+to the the device.
+
+The final \field{status} byte is written by the device: either VIRTIO_I2C_MSG_OK
+for success or VIRTIO_I2C_MSG_ERR for error.
+
+\begin{lstlisting}
+#define VIRTIO_I2C_MSG_OK     0
+#define VIRTIO_I2C_MSG_ERR    1
+\end{lstlisting}
+
+\drivernormative{\subsubsection}{Device Operation}{Device Types / I2C Adapter Device / Device Operation}
+
+A driver MUST set \field{addr}, \field{flags} and \field{len} before sending
+the request.
+
+A driver MUST place one segment of an I2C transaction into \field{buf} if the
+first bit of \field{flags} is '0'.
+
+A driver MUST NOT use \field{addr}, \field{flags}, \field{len} and \field{buf}
+if the final \field{status} returned from the device is VIRTIO_I2C_MSG_ERR.
+
+\devicenormative{\subsubsection}{Device Operation}{Device Types / I2C Adapter Device / Device Operation}
+
+A device MUST NOT change the value of \field{addr}, \field{flags} and \field{len}.
+
+A device MUST place one segment of an I2C transaction into \field{buf} if the first
+bit of \field{flags} is '1'.
