No, it's not. The class is meant to limit the probing scope of legacy i2c chip drivers. New-style i2c chip drivers shouldn't care. Note that these classes aren't going away anytime soon though: some chip types just have to be probed (e.g. hardware monitoring chips or EEPROMs on PC motherboards) so even if these drivers are eventually converted to new-style i2c chip drivers, some (possibly external) probing will still be necessary, and the class will be there to limit the scope of this probing. > On 1/2/08, Jochen Friedrich <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > IMHO, there should be a node attribute to override > > i2c_adapter.class.

I am fine with a node attribute allowing control of this attribute, that could be handy for testing and debugging purposes. If someone submits a patch implementing this, I'll review and merge it. -- Jean Delvare _______________________________________________ i2c mailing list i2c@lm-sensors.org http://lists.lm-sensors.org/mailman/listinfo/i2c
