It's probably worth mentioning here that the node represents a single I2C bus, and hence is expected to contain child nodes representing I2C devices. Perhaps: Optional child nodes: - One node per I2C device connected to the tunnelled I2C bus. -- 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
