Hi Rodolfo, Do I have problems with subscribing linux-i2c mailing list if my messages are not published? The need of setting and getting the channel out of the shell is for debugging use only. Ok, if everything works properly, this is an unessential attribute. I thought, maybe someone else is also interested, so I _tried_ to publish this patch to Linux-i2c. Another reason, why I've published this patch is, getting feedback from Linux community - what is good, what is amiss, how implementation is better... My plan is, loading adapters and devices on the basis of a flattened device tree (Documentation/powerpc/booting-without-of.txt). At the time, I don't know where to tackle this problem. Any hints for me?

With Rodolfos patch, my kernel doesn't compile anymore. In all probability, it's a mistake by my side. I have to update my patches to the latest kernel as weel. :) > I've added a channel attribute to pca954x driver, because i'd like getting and setting the channel from userspace by the use of sysfs. Why do you need it?
