Hi,
in new driver model 'kind' is no more provided for client's probe
function. The driver frame work creates the path
sys/bus/i2c/devices/[bus]-[dev]/ and populates it with the entries
modalias, name, subsystem@ and uevent. If probe fails (because the
device is not on bus at the moment) the client's sysFs-entries are not
created, but the entries above remain.
This patch provides means to get modules force parameter in probe
function. Clients should test and create entries despite test fail. Of
course entry callbacks should return -EIO as long as device stays
unreachable.
