Hi Ky?sti, In the process of merging our i2c CVS repository changes into the Linux 2.4 kernel, I saw that, back in January 2003, you removed bus scanning from two drivers (i2c-algo-bit and i2c-algo-pcf). What was your reason for doing so? Is it because it was unused, or because i2cdetect can be used instead, or both, or any other reason I didn't think of? I took a look at the i2c drivers present in both Linux 2.4 and 2.6, and it turns out that there are other drivers still having a bus scanning parameter (i2c-algo-ite.c and i2c-algo-sibyte.c in 2.4, i2c-algo-ite.c and i2c-ibm_iic.c in 2.6). As I will be submitting a patch to remove bus scanning from "our" drivers (i2c-algo-bit and i2c-algo-pcf), I'm wondering if I should do the same for these extra drivers as well. BTW, does i2cdetect work on non-i386 architectures? Any insight on your original motivations appreciated. The patch will also remove SLO_IO usage, since it is supposed not to compile anymore anyway, and cleanup headers. -- Jean Delvare http://www.ensicaen.ismra.fr/~delvare/
