I've found this thread now. Why can't we totally remove probing from i2c-mpc? These are embedded systems, not open boxes like a PC. If a i2c client hasn't been converted to the new model yet, convert it before deploying with the new i2c-mpc driver. It's not very hard to convert the client drivers. -- Jon Smirl jonsmirl at gmail.com
