Re: Probe method vs attach method.

[LKomz Komz <lkomz101@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Greg. I am trying to find the solution to this. Thanks for the leads.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Are there any documentation on what the changes in the i2c modules are going from 2.6.22 to 2.6.31.
The driver which compiles and runs on 2.6.22 returns the following errors when compiled on 2.6.31.
I have included the correspondign lies from the code to clarify my
predicament. Due to the current urgency I am sticking to the old
binding method as the new method requires more indepth understanding.
Are there ways to get over the following messages?

error: unknown field
‘detach_client’ specified in initializer

device_create(lkmoz_class,NULL,lkomz_dev_number, LKOMZ_DEV_NAME)
=>error: too few arguments to
function ‘device_create’

i2c_probe(adapter,&lkomz_addr_data,lkomz_attach)
=>error: implicit declaration of
function ‘i2c_probe’

i2c_detach_client(client)
=>error: implicit declaration of
function ‘i2c_detach_client’

make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/kernels/linux-2.6.31'
make: *** [all] Error 2


Any help would be greatly appreciaetd.

Thanking you.

L Komz.

Yes, you have the exact number of specific changes that have happened
between those two kernel versions, in the kernel source code itself.
Please use that to determine what has changed, no other type of
documentation would be as complete :)

Also note, that between those two versions, a few hundred thousand
kernel changes have happened, which is not insubstancial.

Good luck,
