From i2c-core.c: static int i2c_detect(struct i2c_adapter *adapter, struct i2c_driver *driver) { const struct i2c_client_address_data *address_data; (...) address_data = driver->address_data; if (!driver->detect || !address_data) return 0; Additionally, you must define atpm_driver.class, otherwise atpm_driver.detect will never be called. > }; > > static int __init atpm_init(void) > { > printk(DEVICE_NAME ": adding i2c driver\n"); > return i2c_add_driver(&atpm_driver); > } > > static void __exit atpm_exit(void) > { > i2c_del_driver(&atpm_driver); > printk(DEVICE_NAME ": deleting i2c driver\n"); > } > > module_init(atpm_init); > module_exit(atpm_exit); > > Any help would be appreciated. What is this "atpm" device? Can it be reliably detected? In general it is better to instantiate I2C devices explicitly, for example through platform data.
