Perhaps this driver misses a class of HWMON.

       .owner          = THIS_MODULE,
        .class          = I2C_CLASS_HWMON,

Add last one to the static struct i2c_adapter ...

Well try what I suggest above.

My driver was for 2.6 and for 2.4 too. I cant dig with it right now, I'm writing my master thesis and
I have nearly no free time. So I can help only a bit.
