Re: [PATCH 0/5] Version 17, series to add device tree naming to i2c
What is the review status of this series, should I post it again?

This version implements standard alias naming only on the powerpc platform and only for the device tree names. The old naming mechanism of i2c_client.name,driver_name is left in place and not changed for non-powerpc platforms. This patch is fully capable of dynamically loading the i2c modules. You can modprobe in the i2c-mpc driver and the i2c modules described in the device tree will be automatically loaded. Modules also work if compiled in. The follow on patch to module-init-tools is also needed since the i2c subsystem has never implemented dynamic loading. The following series implements standard linux module aliasing for i2c modules on arch=powerpc. It then converts the mpc i2c driver from being a platform driver to an open firmware one. I2C device names are picked up from the device tree. Module aliasing is used to translate from device tree names into to linux kernel names. Several i2c drivers are updated to use the new aliasing. -- Jon Smirl [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line unsubscribe linux-kernel in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ -- Jon Smirl [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Linuxppc-dev mailing list Linuxppc-dev@ozlabs.org https://ozlabs.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxppc-dev

Can it all go in through the powerpc trees or do the i2c people want to send it on? I am on vacation until January 4th. I will review your patchset the week following my return.

Are there any other objections to this patch? If not, can it be targeted for 2.6.25?
