Since iicbus(4) is a hinted bus, I believe the current scenario could be improved either by having a dynamic hints system (and an OFW specific layer that added hints about known devices at runtime) or perhaps an OFW iicbus subclass (didn't Nathan start on this in r186833?).
I would vote for the latter. It is what we do for the ISA bus when PnPBIOS or ACPI enumerate devices on it. -- John Baldwin _______________________________________________ svn-src-head@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/svn-src-head To unsubscribe, send any mail to "svn-src-head-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
