This patch aims to add i2c_device_id for the vcnl4035 driver, while going through the initial driver submission patches, noticed that the i2c_device_id was removed on suggestion (https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/patch/970970/), will it be possible to consider this patch add the i2c_device_id, so that the device can be instantiated using i2c_new_client_device or say from the userspace?.This will be really helpful in cases where the device tree based description is not possible now(Eg. a device on a gbphy i2c adapter created by greybus). The particular usecase here is described over this RFC Patch for the mikroBUS driver: https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/patch/1290148/ Thanks and Regards, Vaishnav M A Signed-off-by: Vaishnav M A <vaishnav@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/iio/light/vcnl4035.c | 7 +++++++ 1 file changed, 7 insertions(+) diff --git a/drivers/iio/light/vcnl4035.c b/drivers/iio/light/vcnl4035.c index 765c44adac57..73a28e30dddc 100644 --- a/drivers/iio/light/vcnl4035.c +++ b/drivers/iio/light/vcnl4035.c @@ -652,6 +652,12 @@ static const struct dev_pm_ops vcnl4035_pm_ops = { vcnl4035_runtime_resume, NULL) }; +static const struct i2c_device_id vcnl4035_id[] = { + { "vcnl4035", 0}, + { } +}; +MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(i2c, vcnl4035_id); + static const struct of_device_id vcnl4035_of_match[] = { { .compatible = "vishay,vcnl4035", }, { } @@ -666,6 +672,7 @@ static struct i2c_driver vcnl4035_driver = { }, .probe = vcnl4035_probe, .remove = vcnl4035_remove, + .id_table = vcnl4035_id, }; module_i2c_driver(vcnl4035_driver); -- 2.25.1
