SubjectRe: [PATCH 0/2] eeprom: at24: write-protect pin support
2017-12-19 17:14 GMT+01:00 Bartosz Golaszewski <brgl@bgdev.pl>:
> AT24 EEPROMs have a write-protect pin, which - when pulled high -
> inhibits writes to the upper quadrant of memory (although it has been
> observed that on some chips it disables writing to the entire memory
> range).
>
> On some boards, this pin is connected to a GPIO and pulled high by
> default, which forces the user to manually change its state before
> writing. On linux this means that we either need to hog the line all
> the time, or set the GPIO value before writing from outside of the
> at24 driver.

> This series adds support for the write-protect pin split into two
> parts. The first patch extends the relevant binding document, while
> the second modifies the at24 code to pull the write-protect GPIO
> low (if present) during write operations.
