Greetings, Being relatively new to i2c I wanted to verify that my conclusion reached from doing some initial reading on i2c device detection is accurate: Based on the nature of an i2c bus there is no automatic detection of an i2c device "plugged into" a system in the kernel. For example, an embedded Linux system boots up and 10 minutes later someone attaches a smart battery to the running system (to a bus that also has a smart battery charger, for example) - there is no way to automatically detect the device and run some initialization code in a device driver every time the battery gets connected to the i2c bus, correct?
