Hi all, While writing the i2c-2.8.1 patch I plan to send to the kernel people for inclusion into Linux 2.4, I made sure not to leave any MOD_*_USE_COUNT call in, since in my understanding, the owner structure member in i2c_algorithm, i2c_adapter and i2c_driver was precisely introduced to get rid of them. Now, taking a look at what was done in the 2.6 kernel tree, it happens that a few drivers still have these macros used. For example, they are still used in bt832.c, bttv-if.c and tuner-3036.c. Does it mean that I should *not* have been removing them there? Should I have been removing these calls only if they were explicitely linked to our structures through inc_use and dec_use structure members? Or is it simply that they should have been removed in 2.6, but have been forgotten? Explanations would be welcome. Thanks. -- Jean Delvare http://www.ensicaen.ismra.fr/~delvare/
