Sorry, I need yet further clarification on this. I have been trying
to get to grips with device tree and (on pi with raspbian jessie) in
/boot/overlays/README it says
"Device Tree makes it possible
to support many hardware configurations with a single kernel and without the
need to explicitly load or blacklist kernel modules."
which I think means that it should not be necessary to use modprobe
w1-gpio or to put the module in /etc/modules.
Also for w1-gpio it has
"Name: w1-gpio
Info: Configures the w1-gpio Onewire interface module.
Use this overlay if you *don't* need a GPIO to drive an external pullup.
Load: dtoverlay=w1-gpio,<param>=<val>
Params: gpiopin GPIO for I/O (default "4")
pullup Non-zero, "on", or "y" to enable the parasitic
power (2-wire, power-on-data) feature
Does this mean I can (should?) use
dtoverlay=w1-gpio,gpiopin=4,pullup=y
and remove the modprobe command?
