 There have always been two flavors of file {{{i2c-dev.h}}}. One comes from the kernel and contains a description of the {{{/dev/i2c-*}}} kernel interface, as kernel header files are supposed to do. [source:i2c-tools/tags/V3-1-0/include/linux/i2c-dev.h The other comes from the i2c-tools package], and contains not only the description of the {{{/dev/i2c-*}}} kernel interface but also definitions copied from {{{<linux/i2c.h>}}} as well as inline functions duplicating the {{{i2c_smbus_*}}} functions from the kernel to make the same functionality available to user-space applications. This was an afternoon hack but nobody ever bothered cleaning it up so it's still there over ten years later.
