[PATCH 7/9] i2c: Provide a temporary .probe2() call-back type

Lee Jones lee.jones at linaro.org
Fri Jun 20 05:02:31 PDT 2014


This will aid the seamless removal of the current probe()'s, more
commonly unused than used second parameter.  Most I2C drivers can
simply switch over to the new interface, others which have DT
support can use its own matching instead and others can call
i2c_match_id() themselves.  This brings I2C's device probe method
into line with other similar interfaces in the kernel and prevents
the requirement to pass an i2c_device_id table.
