2012-07-21srd: Rename onewire_transport to maxim_ds28ea00.Uwe Hermann
It doesn't make sense to have one "generic" onewire_transport PD, as this layer is very much device-specific and such a generic PD would have to contain an accumulation of all possible features and commands and handling code of all existing (now and in the future) 1-Wire devices, which is neither possible nor useful nor elegant. There are (for example) 1-Wire thermometers, RTCs, EEPROMs, special-purpose security chips with passwords/keys, battery monitoring chips, and many many others. They all have a different set of features, commands and command codes, RAM areas/sizes/partitioning/contents, protocols, and so on. Thus, the layering for 1-Wire PD stacks should look like this: onewire_link -> onewire_network -> <specificdevice> Examples: onewire_link -> onewire_network -> maxim_ds28ea00 (special thermometer) onewire_link -> onewire_network -> maxim_ds2431 (1kbit EEPROM) onewire_link -> onewire_network -> maxim_ds2417 (RTC) onewire_link -> onewire_network -> maxim_ds2762 (battery monitor) onewire_link -> onewire_network -> maxim_ds1961s (SHA-1 eCash iButton) and so on... So, renaming onewire_transport to maxim_ds28ea00. The non-DS28EA00 specific code will be dropped and/or moved to other PDs on top of onewire_network later.
