This really doesn't matter. With the new binding model, probing is under control. You can do probing on some cards and not others, and you can probe some addresses and not others. And one i2c drivers can cleanly support more than one device type. What should be considered to decide whether two devices should be supported by the same driver or not, is how much their supporting code has in common. -- Jean Delvare -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
