Avoid redundant code in PN53x usb and uart drivers. Since it makes sense to
report errors at the nfc_device_t level, pass it directly to
pn53x_transceive().
Programs using the libnfc MAY use pn53x_transceive() to communicate with a NFC
device, and SHALL not use anymore pnd->pdc->transceive(). Code in the library
itself SHOULD avoid calling pnd->pdc->transceive(), so such construct have been
updated accordingly.
Within the ongoing effort to improve the NFC devices abstraction, and now that
pn53x_transceive() does not fail when it reads a response that has no
status-code, do not call directly pnd->pdc->transceive() from nfc.c. In a
mid-term future this will be changed again, and calling pn53x_transceive() from
nfc.c will be forbiden, in favor of colling some pnd->transceive() function,
but that's another part of the story.
Of course, it changes the API one more and it's not going to be the last time
in this branch.
New issue
Summary: Provide a target listing function
Labels: Milestone-1.4.x
Libnfc lacks of target listing function. Actually, applications or libraries based on libnfc have to wrote their own listing function which can provide side effect if two or more of theses libraries are used together in the same application. Plus, some kind of problem could appears during listing multiples targets (i.e. collisions) and this problem should be solved in libnfc (i.e. using NFC chip capabilities), not in applications based on libnfc.
- New API functions: nfc_strerror(), nfc_strerror_r() and nfc_perror();
- Drivers now have a reference to chips callback methods;
- Rename -pn53x_err2string to pn53x_strerror and add it to pn53x_callbacks_list.
