Merge branch 'i2c/for-current' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/wsa/linux
Pull more i2c updates from Wolfram Sang: "Mostly bugfixes, small but wanted cleanups, and Paul's init.h removal applied" * 'i2c/for-current' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/wsa/linux: i2c: rcar: fix NACK error code i2c: update i2c_algorithm documentation i2c: rcar: use devm_clk_get to ensure clock is properly ref-counted i2c: rcar: do not print error if device nacks transfer i2c: rely on driver core when sanitizing devices i2c: delete non-required instances of include <linux/init.h> i2c: acorn: is tristate and should use module.h i2c: piix4: Standardize log messages i2c: piix4: Use different message for AMD Auxiliary SMBus Controller i2c: piix4: Add support for AMD ML and CZ SMBus changes

+ * struct i2c_algorithm - represent I2C transfer method
+ * @master_xfer: Issue a set of i2c transactions to the given I2C adapter
+ * defined by the msgs array, with num messages available to transfer via
+ * the adapter specified by adap.
+ * @smbus_xfer: Issue smbus transactions to the given I2C adapter. If this
+ * is not present, then the bus layer will try and convert the SMBus calls
+ * into I2C transfers instead.
+ * @functionality: Return the flags that this algorithm/adapter pair supports
+ * from the I2C_FUNC_* flags.
+ *
* The following structs are for those who like to implement new bus drivers:
* i2c_algorithm is the interface to a class of hardware solutions which can
* be addressed using the same bus algorithms - i.e. bit-banging or the PCF8584
* to name two of the most common.
+ *
+ * The return codes from the @master_xfer field should indicate the type of
+ * error code that occured during the transfer, as documented in the kernel
+ * Documentation file Documentation/i2c/fault-codes.
