It's not really about the vendors of the device, but the namespace it goes into. If there's really no canonical vendor name, then a plain old "24c148" might make sense, but that seems like it'd be fairly rare. > I can't register a board_info for each of the compatible fields without > changing the way the i2c drivers are registered, since the creation of > the duplicate entries will start reporting errors. Even with the current i2c changes that have been flying around the lists?
