Hi all, This is an updated, minimal patchset to add support for device alias names to the i2c subsystem. It is based on earlier work by Jon Smirl, Jochen Friedrich and myself.
For 2.6.26-rc1 I'll only attempt to push the first two patches: the one adding the support for alias names and the one converting the drivers to make use of it. I've even excluded most of the video drivers from this patch, as they are a bit more difficult to deal with and I don't want to break them for rc1. This will come later, together with the patch removing the old device/driver matching scheme. I've fixed a number of bugs since the previous iteration, and added a few missing chunks as well. I hope I caught all the pieces this time but that's hard to tell given that much of the changes are in arch code I can't even build. So I would like everyone interested in these two patches getting in 2.6.26-rc1 to give them good testing on as many systems as possible, and report to me, ideally by the end of the day. Sorry for the short notice, but I did my best with the little spare time I had. Note that there are RTC patches pending for upstream merge, which will conflict with my patches. Andrew Morton should push them to Linus today, so that I can rebase my patches before I send them to Linus (tomorrow). The current versions of the patches apply on top of 2.6.26-git11.
