Which kernel version? Since 2.6.27, the eeprom driver is no longer a legacy driver. Instead it's a new-style driver with the optional .detect() callback. This is why I am reluctant to change this now: there aren't too many legacy drivers left, so testing their code paths isn't easy, and if anything isn't correct we might not notice it until it hits the users. > But if you prefer to wait until the list can go too, OK.
