As well as being able to generate its own i2c transactions, the ppc4xx
i2c controller has a DIRECTCNTL register which allows explicit control
of the i2c lines.

Using this register an OS can directly bitbang i2c operations. In
order to let emulated i2c devices respond to this, we need to wire up
the DIRECTCNTL register to qemu's bitbanged i2c handling code.

v4: Updated commit message and use defined constant where
appropriate

I'm still don't quite understand your approach to the symbolic
constants here, but I don't care enough to hold this up any further.
So, applied to ppc-for-3.0.

Thanks, just to try to clear this up, I consider symbolic constants to be
the name of bits 0-3 in the directntl register so while MSCL equals 1 it's
only appropriate to use the constant if I really mean (1 << 0) i.e. bit 0 of
directcntl reg.

Right..

This clears all bits but SDAC and SCLC so constants are OK here as they
refer to bits in the register. (Guest can set the S* bits to say what state
it wants the i2c lines to become.)

+        i2c->directcntl |= (value & IIC_DIRECTCNTL_SCLC ? 1 : 0);

This is directcntl[MSCL] = direcntl[SCLC] that is, set MSCL bit the same as
SCLC, the 1 : 0 here are the value of the bit not the MSCL bit so constans
are not appropriate here.

This is what I don't get.  Regardless of the method of it, you *are*
setting bit 1 of the directcntl register, so why would the MSCL name
not be appropriate?

I'm setting bit 0 (MSCL) to either 1 or 0. I could probably use the MSCL constant in place of the 1 here but would that make it clearer? It would just be longer and less clear without looking up the constants so to me this looks more comprehensible this way.

+        bitbang_i2c_set(i2c->bitbang, BITBANG_I2C_SCL,
+                        i2c->directcntl & IIC_DIRECTCNTL_MSCL);

This lets the bitbang_i2c emulation also know that MSCL is set to 1 or 0 so
constant here is OK, previously it was just 1 for brevity which may have
confused you.

+        i2c->directcntl |= bitbang_i2c_set(i2c->bitbang, BITBANG_I2C_SDA,
+                               (value & IIC_DIRECTCNTL_SDAC) != 0) << 1;

This sets MSDA bit of directcntl to the value returned by bitbang_i2c
emulation when sending it the bit in SDAC. So the
(value & IIC_DIRECTCNTL_SDAC) != 0)
tests what value the SDAC bit has so 0 means the value of the bit and
constant refers to the bit in the register. (Because SDAC is not the LSB and
we need 1 or 0 here hence the equality test to normalise the value, maybe
the !! construct could also be used, I'm not sure.) The << 1 at the end
makes sure we set the MSDA bit but that constant cannot be used here and
using MSCL instead is not correct because we mean the MSDA bit.

Right, I'm not suggesting you use MSCL here, I'm suggesting you use
MSDA.

But how? Third arg of bitbang_i2c_set is level, either 0 or 1. How could a constant with value 2 used here? (Also to set bit 1 I have to shift 1 not 2 so I don't see how the constant could be used there either.)
