Reading "dummy" in several /sys/bus/i2c/devices/?-????/name files is not helping. Using the 'name' string that is passed to i2c_new_ancillary_device() would be way better, perhaps prefixed by dev->name. But this opens the question of why not doing it in i2c_new_dummy_device() as well, which currently receives no "name" parameter. Of course this is not strictly related to this patch and can be done in a later step. About the patch itself, except for the issues pointed out by Geert the approach looks generally good to me. -- Luca
