You will need to register both a i2c_driver and a platform_driver in the tfp410 driver. Both will advertise the same compatible string. As you'll have two probe functions, it should be easy to handle the differences between the two situations there, with common code shared in common functions. A quick grep points to at least drivers/power/bq27x00_battery.c as an example (albeit without DT support). -- Regards, Laurent Pinchart _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
