Hello, I'd like to restart a topic that was discussed before, regarding the infrastructure required to send a command/ioctl directly to an i2c client. The topic was discussed in [1] and [2] more than one year ago. This missing functionality led to all sort of tricks in both i2c rtc drivers and media drivers. My previous proposal ([3]) addressed the separation between ioctls and commands. We now need a way to actually send those commands to the device we are interested in. I'd like to introduce one or more functions to be able to retrieve a client based on its driver id and/or i2c class. If there's general consensus, I'd be happy to take care of it.
