Looking for help writing an i2c client for i2c-core

["Brian Tompson" <brian.tompson-4c4C/Gi1/tVWk0Htik3J/w@public.gmane.org>]

Hello,

In my i2c searches I stumbled upon this list.  I hope this message is
appropriate here.

I am trying to write an i2c client driver for the i2c core, using the Linux
Driver Model (new style driver).
I am looking for a list of steps I need to take to accomplish this.

I have been looking for a list something like this:

Load this i2c-core structure with this information.
Call this i2c-core function to register your driver.
Call this i2c-core function to connect to the adapter or bus or algorithm
(don’t know which)
Write a probe function that does this.
Write a remove function that does this.
Call this i2c-core function to write raw i2c data (not SMBus) to your device
Call this i2c-core function to read raw i2c data from your device.
Call this i2c-core function to disconnect from the adapter or bus or
algorithm

Or whatever the actual steps should be.

I have started writing a driver and have used i2c_add_driver() to register
my driver with i2c_core.
Now what?  Probe, attach, send, remove, …?  Is there a resource available
that simply lays out these facts?  I think a resource like that would be
very useful to someone trying to develop a client driver for the i2c-core
using the Linux Driver Model.


Thank you for your time,
