Hi Wolfram: your patch completely fixes the issue on my 5200B board. Just an other dumb question: as I mentioned, the driver is loaded even if no chip is attached to the i2c bus. Wouldn't it make sense to check if the chip is there (e.g. by reading the first byte), and eject with ENODEV if it isn't? Thanks, Albrecht.
