With ignore you can prevent a driver from scanning an address (specify -1 as the bus to ignore that address on all busses) and with force you can specify which bus/address to find the specific chip. I haven't read the code in detail yet, but if force doesn't already override ignore, it probably should. I can't think of reason why you would want ignore to override a force directive. :v)
