However, I do not remember the exact scenario for testing.

Reboot is working fine. SO how do I see if os working? Nothing in dmesg, reboot works so seems OK? -- Meelis Roos (mroos@xxxxxxxx) -- 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
