Subject: Finding 'orphaned' i2c drivers
Date: Mon, 23 Feb 2009 12:00:52 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090223110052.GE15722@buzzloop.caiaq.de> (raw)

Hi,

what's the suggested way of implementing an i2c drver which does not
have any other interfaces to the outside world than just the i2c device
it is communicating with? More specificly, I implemented a driver for a
Maxim clock generator and would like to use a proprietary interface with
it from a alsa-soc module. I just can't find a sane way to access the
driver's instance from there. It does exist somewhere in the linux
device tree, but is there a simple function that iterates over it and
returns it to me by name? Reading include/linux/device.h didn't point me
to anything that could fit.

Excuse me this is a stupid question, but I can't find any useful
information about that anywhere.

Thanks,
Daniel
