* i2c: Add support for custom probe functionJean Delvare2010-08-111-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | The probe method used by i2c_new_probed_device() may not be suitable for all cases. Let the caller provide its own, optional probe function. Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org> Acked-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@redhat.com>
* i2c: Minor documentation updateJean Delvare2009-10-041-1/+1
| | | | | | | The sysfs path to i2c adapters has changed recently, update the documentation to reflect that change. Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>
* i2c: Add a sysfs interface to instantiate devicesJean Delvare2009-06-191-0/+44
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a sysfs interface to instantiate and delete I2C devices. This is primarily a replacement of the force_* module parameters implemented by some i2c drivers. These module parameters were implemented internally by the I2C_CLIENT_INSMOD* macros, which don't scale well. This can also be used when developing a driver on a self-soldered board which doesn't yet have proper I2C device declaration at the platform level, and presumably for various debugging situations.

* i2c: Document the different ways to instantiate i2c devicesJean Delvare2009-03-281-0/+167
On popular demand, here comes some documentation about how to instantiate i2c devices in the new (standard) i2c device driver binding model. I have also clarified how the class bitfield lets driver authors control which buses are probed in the auto-detect case, and warned more loudly against the abuse of this method.
