yn386 a74e4fabeb stm32/i2c: Fix I2C frequency calc so it doesn't exceed requested rate.
Prior to this commit, the actual I2C frequency can be faster than specified
one and it may exceed the I2C's specification for Fast Mode.  The frequency
of SCL should be less than or equal to 400KHz in Fast Mode.

This commit fixes this issue for F4 MCUs by rounding up the division in the
frequency calculation.

class I2C -- a two-wire serial protocol
=======================================
I2C is a two-wire protocol for communicating between devices. At the physical
level it consists of 2 wires: SCL and SDA, the clock and data lines respectively.
I2C objects are created attached to a specific bus. They can be initialised
when created, or initialised later on.
Example::
from pyb import I2C
i2c = I2C(1) # create on bus 1
i2c = I2C(1, I2C.CONTROLLER) # create and init as a controller
i2c.init(I2C.CONTROLLER, baudrate=20000) # init as a controller
i2c.init(I2C.PERIPHERAL, addr=0x42) # init as a peripheral with given address
i2c.deinit() # turn off the I2C unit
Printing the i2c object gives you information about its configuration.
The basic methods are send and recv::
i2c.send('abc') # send 3 bytes
i2c.send(0x42) # send a single byte, given by the number
data = i2c.recv(3) # receive 3 bytes
To receive inplace, first create a bytearray::
data = bytearray(3) # create a buffer
i2c.recv(data) # receive 3 bytes, writing them into data
You can specify a timeout (in ms)::
i2c.send(b'123', timeout=2000) # timeout after 2 seconds
A controller must specify the recipient's address::
i2c.init(I2C.CONTROLLER)
i2c.send('123', 0x42) # send 3 bytes to peripheral with address 0x42
i2c.send(b'456', addr=0x42) # keyword for address
Master also has other methods::
i2c.is_ready(0x42) # check if peripheral 0x42 is ready
i2c.scan() # scan for peripherals on the bus, returning
# a list of valid addresses
i2c.mem_read(3, 0x42, 2) # read 3 bytes from memory of peripheral 0x42,
# starting at address 2 in the peripheral
i2c.mem_write('abc', 0x42, 2, timeout=1000) # write 'abc' (3 bytes) to memory of peripheral 0x42
# starting at address 2 in the peripheral, timeout after 1 second
Constructors
------------
.. class:: I2C(bus, ...)
Construct an I2C object on the given bus. ``bus`` can be 1 or 2, 'X' or
'Y'. With no additional parameters, the I2C object is created but not
initialised (it has the settings from the last initialisation of
the bus, if any). If extra arguments are given, the bus is initialised.
See ``init`` for parameters of initialisation.
The physical pins of the I2C buses on Pyboards V1.0 and V1.1 are:
- ``I2C(1)`` is on the X position: ``(SCL, SDA) = (X9, X10) = (PB6, PB7)``
- ``I2C(2)`` is on the Y position: ``(SCL, SDA) = (Y9, Y10) = (PB10, PB11)``
On the Pyboard Lite:
- ``I2C(1)`` is on the X position: ``(SCL, SDA) = (X9, X10) = (PB6, PB7)``
- ``I2C(3)`` is on the Y position: ``(SCL, SDA) = (Y9, Y10) = (PA8, PB8)``
Calling the constructor with 'X' or 'Y' enables portability between Pyboard
types.
Methods
-------
.. method:: I2C.deinit()
Turn off the I2C bus.
.. method:: I2C.init(mode, *, addr=0x12, baudrate=400000, gencall=False, dma=False)
Initialise the I2C bus with the given parameters:
- ``mode`` must be either ``I2C.CONTROLLER`` or ``I2C.PERIPHERAL``
- ``addr`` is the 7-bit address (only sensible for a peripheral)
- ``baudrate`` is the SCL clock rate (only sensible for a controller)
- ``gencall`` is whether to support general call mode
- ``dma`` is whether to allow the use of DMA for the I2C transfers (note
that DMA transfers have more precise timing but currently do not handle bus
errors properly)
The actual clock frequency may be lower than the requested frequency.
This is dependant on the platform hardware. The actual rate may be determined
by printing the I2C object.
.. method:: I2C.is_ready(addr)
Check if an I2C device responds to the given address. Only valid when in controller mode.
.. method:: I2C.mem_read(data, addr, memaddr, *, timeout=5000, addr_size=8)
Read from the memory of an I2C device:
- ``data`` can be an integer (number of bytes to read) or a buffer to read into
- ``addr`` is the I2C device address
- ``memaddr`` is the memory location within the I2C device
- ``timeout`` is the timeout in milliseconds to wait for the read
- ``addr_size`` selects width of memaddr: 8 or 16 bits
Returns the read data.
This is only valid in controller mode.
.. method:: I2C.mem_write(data, addr, memaddr, *, timeout=5000, addr_size=8)
Write to the memory of an I2C device:
- ``data`` can be an integer or a buffer to write from
- ``addr`` is the I2C device address
- ``memaddr`` is the memory location within the I2C device
- ``timeout`` is the timeout in milliseconds to wait for the write
- ``addr_size`` selects width of memaddr: 8 or 16 bits
Returns ``None``.
This is only valid in controller mode.
.. method:: I2C.recv(recv, addr=0x00, *, timeout=5000)
Receive data on the bus:
- ``recv`` can be an integer, which is the number of bytes to receive,
or a mutable buffer, which will be filled with received bytes
- ``addr`` is the address to receive from (only required in controller mode)
- ``timeout`` is the timeout in milliseconds to wait for the receive
Return value: if ``recv`` is an integer then a new buffer of the bytes received,
otherwise the same buffer that was passed in to ``recv``.
.. method:: I2C.send(send, addr=0x00, *, timeout=5000)
Send data on the bus:
- ``send`` is the data to send (an integer to send, or a buffer object)
- ``addr`` is the address to send to (only required in controller mode)
- ``timeout`` is the timeout in milliseconds to wait for the send
Return value: ``None``.
.. method:: I2C.scan()
Scan all I2C addresses from 0x01 to 0x7f and return a list of those that respond.
Only valid when in controller mode.
