After contemplating the vast amounts of feedback I received on the first version of this patch I reworked it to reduce it's impact. This version can go in without changing any existing drivers in the kernel. Currently i2c uses a driver_name/type pair to handle drivers which support more than one d

[RFC] Modifying i2c-core to support alias driver names compatible with device trees

2007-11-06 Thread Jon Smirl
It was requested to split this code out into a separate thread This code modifies the i2c-core to support lists of alias names in the chip drivers. For example: .aliases = (char const *[]){"ricoh,rs5c372a","ricoh,rs5c372b","ricoh,rv5c386","ricoh,rv5c387a", 0}, Support like this is needed to
