-Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI)
-=================================
-
-SPI is the "Serial Peripheral Interface", widely used with embedded
-systems because it is a simple and efficient interface: basically a
-multiplexed shift register. Its three signal wires hold a clock (SCK,
-often in the range of 1-20 MHz), a "Master Out, Slave In" (MOSI) data
-line, and a "Master In, Slave Out" (MISO) data line. SPI is a full
-duplex protocol; for each bit shifted out the MOSI line (one per clock)
-another is shifted in on the MISO line. Those bits are assembled into
-words of various sizes on the way to and from system memory. An
-additional chipselect line is usually active-low (nCS); four signals are
-normally used for each peripheral, plus sometimes an interrupt.
-
-The SPI bus facilities listed here provide a generalized interface to
-declare SPI busses and devices, manage them according to the standard
-Linux driver model, and perform input/output operations. At this time,
-only "master" side interfaces are supported, where Linux talks to SPI
-peripherals and does not implement such a peripheral itself. (Interfaces
-to support implementing SPI slaves would necessarily look different.)
-
-The programming interface is structured around two kinds of driver, and
-two kinds of device. A "Controller Driver" abstracts the controller
-hardware, which may be as simple as a set of GPIO pins or as complex as
-a pair of FIFOs connected to dual DMA engines on the other side of the
-SPI shift register (maximizing throughput). Such drivers bridge between
-whatever bus they sit on (often the platform bus) and SPI, and expose
-the SPI side of their device as a :c:type:`struct spi_master
-<spi_master>`. SPI devices are children of that master,
-represented as a :c:type:`struct spi_device <spi_device>` and
-manufactured from :c:type:`struct spi_board_info
-<spi_board_info>` descriptors which are usually provided by
-board-specific initialization code. A :c:type:`struct spi_driver
-<spi_driver>` is called a "Protocol Driver", and is bound to a
-spi_device using normal driver model calls.
-
-The I/O model is a set of queued messages. Protocol drivers submit one
-or more :c:type:`struct spi_message <spi_message>` objects,
-which are processed and completed asynchronously. (There are synchronous
-wrappers, however.) Messages are built from one or more
-:c:type:`struct spi_transfer <spi_transfer>` objects, each of
-which wraps a full duplex SPI transfer. A variety of protocol tweaking
-options are needed, because different chips adopt very different
-policies for how they use the bits transferred with SPI.

-I\ :sup:`2`\ C and SMBus Subsystem
-==================================
-
-I\ :sup:`2`\ C (or without fancy typography, "I2C") is an acronym for
-the "Inter-IC" bus, a simple bus protocol which is widely used where low
-data rate communications suffice. Since it's also a licensed trademark,
-some vendors use another name (such as "Two-Wire Interface", TWI) for
-the same bus. I2C only needs two signals (SCL for clock, SDA for data),
-conserving board real estate and minimizing signal quality issues. Most
-I2C devices use seven bit addresses, and bus speeds of up to 400 kHz;
-there's a high speed extension (3.4 MHz) that's not yet found wide use.
-I2C is a multi-master bus; open drain signaling is used to arbitrate
-between masters, as well as to handshake and to synchronize clocks from
-slower clients.
-
-The Linux I2C programming interfaces support only the master side of bus
-interactions, not the slave side. The programming interface is
-structured around two kinds of driver, and two kinds of device. An I2C
-"Adapter Driver" abstracts the controller hardware; it binds to a
-physical device (perhaps a PCI device or platform_device) and exposes a
-:c:type:`struct i2c_adapter <i2c_adapter>` representing each
-I2C bus segment it manages. On each I2C bus segment will be I2C devices
-represented by a :c:type:`struct i2c_client <i2c_client>`.
-Those devices will be bound to a :c:type:`struct i2c_driver
-<i2c_driver>`, which should follow the standard Linux driver
-model. (At this writing, a legacy model is more widely used.) There are
-functions to perform various I2C protocol operations; at this writing
-all such functions are usable only from task context.
-
-The System Management Bus (SMBus) is a sibling protocol. Most SMBus
-systems are also I2C conformant. The electrical constraints are tighter
-for SMBus, and it standardizes particular protocol messages and idioms.
-Controllers that support I2C can also support most SMBus operations, but
-SMBus controllers don't support all the protocol options that an I2C
-controller will. There are functions to perform various SMBus protocol
-operations, either using I2C primitives or by issuing SMBus commands to
-i2c_adapter devices which don't support those I2C operations.
