[patch 1/1] i2c_gpio: keep probe resident for hotplugged devices.

[Ben Dooks]

[-- Attachment #1: simtec/simtec-drivers-i2c-gpio-fixprobe.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1385 bytes --]

Change the i2c_gpio driver to use platform_driver_register()
instead of platform_driver_probe() to ensure that is can
attach to any devices that may be loaded after it has initialised.

This patch looks incomplete to me. If the device can be hot-plugged, I
guess it can be hot-unplugged as well? Then i2c_gpio_remove should be
__devexit, not __exit.

Thanks,

Does anyone actually do that?

At the moment our standard kernel configuration only
builds in the SM501 which will work without this patch
on.

However, we have clients that do build module kernels
and I would like to replace i2c-simtec.c with the gpio
driver and if the relevant module instantiating the gpio
support is loaded post kernel init, then we will need to
do this.

Should I take this patch in my i2c tree, or will you take it in yours?

I'll take it, I was just waiting to see if there
where any more objections from Haavard before applying
this.

If i've not received an objection by 0900GMT 2008-07-16
then I will add it to my rather small git tree and ask
linus to pull.

Ok, you won't receive any, so feel free to do that right away :-)

I was just curious about the reason why you need to support hotplugging,
and a bit slow to respond since I'm mostly offline these days.
