Frank's driver is a "new-style" i2c driver. These drivers do not probe
the i2c adapters for supported chips automatically. Instead, platform
code should explicitly instantiate the I2C devices that are present on
the system. In the case of embedded designs, this is typically done by
calling i2c_register_board_info() in platform code.
