config CONFIG_I2C
	tristate "I2C support"
	select CONFIG_RT_MUTEXES
	select CONFIG_IRQ_DOMAIN
	---help---
	  CONFIG_I2C (pronounce: I-squared-CONFIG_C) is a slow serial bus protocol used in
	  many micro controller applications and developed by Philips.  SMBus,
	  or System Management Bus is a subset of the CONFIG_I2C protocol.  More
	  information is contained in the directory <file:Documentation/i2c/>,
	  especially in the file called "summary" there.

	  Both CONFIG_I2C and SMBus are supported here. You will need this for
	  hardware sensors support, and also for Video For Linux support.

	  If you want CONFIG_I2C support, you should say Y here and also to the
	  specific driver for your bus adapter(s) below.

	  This CONFIG_I2C support can also be built as a module.  If so, the module
	  will be called i2c-core.

config CONFIG_ACPI_I2C_OPREGION
	bool "ACPI I2C Operation region support"
	depends on CONFIG_I2C=y && CONFIG_ACPI
	default y
	help
	  Say Y here if you want to enable CONFIG_ACPI CONFIG_I2C operation region support.
	  Operation Regions allow firmware (BIOS) code to access CONFIG_I2C slave devices,
	  such as smart batteries through an CONFIG_I2C host controller driver.

if CONFIG_I2C

config CONFIG_I2C_BOARDINFO
	bool
	default y

config CONFIG_I2C_COMPAT
	bool "Enable compatibility bits for old user-space"
	default y
	help
	  Say Y here if you intend to run lm-sensors 3.1.1 or older, or any
	  other user-space package which expects i2c adapters to be class
	  devices. If you don't know, say Y.

config CONFIG_I2C_CHARDEV
	tristate "I2C device interface"
	help
	  Say Y here to use i2c-* device files, usually found in the /dev
	  directory on your system.  They make it possible to have user-space
	  programs use the CONFIG_I2C bus.  Information on how to do this is
	  contained in the file <file:Documentation/i2c/dev-interface.rst>.

	  This support is also available as a module.  If so, the module 
	  will be called i2c-dev.

config CONFIG_I2C_MUX
	tristate "I2C bus multiplexing support"
	help
	  Say Y here if you want the CONFIG_I2C core to support the ability to
	  handle multiplexed CONFIG_I2C bus topologies, by presenting each
	  multiplexed segment as a CONFIG_I2C adapter.

	  This support is also available as a module.  If so, the module
	  will be called i2c-mux.

source "drivers/i2c/muxes/Kconfig"

config CONFIG_I2C_HELPER_AUTO
	bool "Autoselect pertinent helper modules"
	default y
	help
	  Some CONFIG_I2C bus drivers require so-called "I2C algorithm" modules
	  to work. These are basically software-only abstractions of generic
	  CONFIG_I2C interfaces. This option will autoselect them so that you don't
	  have to care.

	  Unselect this only if you need to enable additional helper
	  modules, for example for use with external CONFIG_I2C bus drivers.

	  In doubt, say Y.

config CONFIG_I2C_SMBUS
	tristate "SMBus-specific protocols" if !CONFIG_I2C_HELPER_AUTO
	help
	  Say Y here if you want support for SMBus extensions to the CONFIG_I2C
	  specification. At the moment, two extensions are supported:
	  the SMBus Alert protocol and the SMBus Host Notify protocol.

	  This support is also available as a module.  If so, the module
	  will be called i2c-smbus.

source "drivers/i2c/algos/Kconfig"
source "drivers/i2c/busses/Kconfig"

config CONFIG_I2C_STUB
	tristate "I2C/SMBus Test Stub"
	depends on m
	default 'n'
	help
	  This module may be useful to developers of SMBus client drivers,
	  especially for certain kinds of sensor chips.

	  If you do build this module, be sure to read the notes and warnings
	  in <file:Documentation/i2c/i2c-stub.rst>.

	  If you don't know what to do here, definitely say N.

config CONFIG_I2C_SLAVE
	bool "I2C slave support"

if CONFIG_I2C_SLAVE

config CONFIG_I2C_SLAVE_EEPROM
	tristate "I2C eeprom slave driver"

endif

config CONFIG_I2C_DEBUG_CORE
	bool "I2C Core debugging messages"
	help
	  Say Y here if you want the CONFIG_I2C core to produce a bunch of debug
	  messages to the system log.  Select this if you are having a
	  problem with CONFIG_I2C support and want to see more of what is going on.

config CONFIG_I2C_DEBUG_ALGO
	bool "I2C Algorithm debugging messages"
	help
	  Say Y here if you want the CONFIG_I2C algorithm drivers to produce a bunch
	  of debug messages to the system log.  Select this if you are having
	  a problem with CONFIG_I2C support and want to see more of what is going
	  on.

config CONFIG_I2C_DEBUG_BUS
	bool "I2C Bus debugging messages"
	depends on CONFIG_HAS_IOMEM
	help
	  Say Y here if you want the CONFIG_I2C bus drivers to produce a bunch of
	  debug messages to the system log.  Select this if you are having
	  a problem with CONFIG_I2C support and want to see more of what is going
	  on.
