That's not always possible, as some USB bridges can only perform I2C writes and no I2C reads (or, if they can, the feature isn't used by the Windows driver and can't be understood by reverse engineering). Most sensor drivers will perform I2C reads at least to identify the sensor. -- Regards, Laurent Pinchart -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
