1) We can't apply this patch on its own so this way of breaking up the patches doesn't work. 2) I was thinking that all the ->attach() calls would have to succeed or we would bail. Having some of them succeed and some fail doesn't seem like it will simplify the driver code very much. But I can also see your point. Hm... Minor comment: No need to preserve the error code if there are lots which we miss. We may as well hard code an error code. But that's a minor thing. Does this actually simplify the driver code? That's the more important thing. regards, dan carpenter -- 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
