Detection only happens on I2C buses which request it (by setting i2c_adapter.class.) I2C system bus drivers for OF-based platforms would simply not set any class flag, so detection won't be triggered on them. -- Jean Delvare _______________________________________________ lm-sensors mailing list lm-sensors@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.lm-sensors.org/mailman/listinfo/lm-sensors
