That's a > pretty simple fix :) This is correct for i2c-core and i2c-dev (that said, you wouldn't figure how many people actually enable these options...), but the issue with the three bus drivers is different. The oops occur when unloading the modules if the corresponding hardware has not been detected. I agree that this is a not-so-common case, but it still can occur, and isn't related to debugging. (BTW, why do these modules accept to load if no hardware matches? Just in case the hardware is hot-plugged later?) -- Jean Delvare http://www.ensicaen.ismra.fr/~delvare/
