This function could certainly be added if someone ever really needs it. But in your case, it seems better to write a proper gpio driver for your device and then have your subdrivers cleanly request the GPIO pins they need. And you don't need to access the i2c_client from the subdrivers if you do this. -- Jean Delvare -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-i2c" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
