[PATCH 6/6] platform/x86: dell-smo8800: Add support for probing for the accelerometer i2c address

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Unfortunately the SMOxxxx ACPI device does not contain the i2c-address
of the accelerometer. So a DMI product-name to address mapping table
is used.

At support to have the kernel probe for the i2c-address for modesl
which are not on the list.

The new probing code sits behind a new probe_i2c_addr module parameter,
which is disabled by default because probing might be dangerous.
