i2c: New macro to initialize i2c address lists on the fly
For video4linux we sometimes need to probe for a single i2c address.
Normally you would do it like this:
static const unsigned short addrs[] = {
addr, I2C_CLIENT_END
};
client = i2c_new_probed_device(adapter, &info, addrs);
This is a bit awkward and I came up with this macro:
#define V4L2_I2C_ADDRS(addr, addrs...) \
((const unsigned short []){ addr, ## addrs, I2C_CLIENT_END })
This can construct a list of one or more i2c addresses on the fly. But
this is something that really belongs in i2c.h, renamed to I2C_ADDRS.
With this macro we can just do:
client = i2c_new_probed_device(adapter, &info, I2C_ADDRS(addr));
Note that this can also be used to initialize an array:
static const unsigned short addrs[] = I2C_ADDRS(0x2a, 0x2c);
Whether you want to is another matter, but it works. This functionality is
also available in the oldest supported gcc (3.2).
