Right, I read the function which provides the functionality, but my point is; I don't think my patch changes the semantics in a way which would adversely affect this option. If you think that it does, can you specify how please? Does the sysfs method create a i2c_device_id table? If not, how does it probe successfully pre-patch? -- Lee Jones Linaro STMicroelectronics Landing Team Lead Linaro.org │ Open source software for ARM SoCs Follow Linaro: Facebook | Twitter | Blog -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
