There was nothing personal in what I've written -- I am simply trying to

You can disable probes in the Mantis driver, using the recommendation
that I made above!!!

I'm not saying that anything is wrong with Mantis -- I am merely stating
that since Mantis doesn't use probed i2c clients, that Mantis should
simply disallow such probing.


What can be simpler than that?
