From: Jose Manuel Alarcon Roldan <jose.alarcon.roldan@xxxxxxxxx> The example code provided with the i2c device interface documentation won't compile since it uses the reserved word "register" to name a variable. The compiler fails with this error message: error: expected identifier or '(' before '=' token __u8 register = 0x20; /* Device register to access */ ^ Rename the variable "register" to simply "reg" in the example code. Another couple of typos has been fixed as well.
