Yes, but the different i2c chip drivers all check for the class setting to be correct before they really do anything, right? > Currently, adapters can already specify a class, for DVB > I2C_ADAP_CLASS_TV_DIGITAL matches perfectly. Yes, and that is what you should check for. It's a bug if any of the non-DVB i2c drivers probe devices with the .class set to I2C_ADAP_CLASS_TV_DIGITAL. Fix that and you should be fine, right? > What I'd like to have is that client can specify some sort of "class", > too, and that i2c adapters can tell the core that only clients where the > class is matching are allowed to probe their existence. Yeah, right now it's up to the chip drivers to be honest. If you want to implement a change to do this instead, I'll be glad to apply it. thanks, greg k-h
