Hi Jean,

[1/7] and [2/7] are forward ports of patches from you. I'm currently
just running a make allmodconfig compile to check if it really caught
all affected i2c drivers.

These are the patches we are talking about.

[3/7] is the OF helper stuff which translates between OF names and
i2c types. It does NOT translate OF names to module names, but relies
on [1/7] to do so. Without [1/7], [3/7] still applies, but module
auto loading won't work.

This has been applied to 2.6.26.

[4/7] is the patch from Jon Smirl to convert i2c-mpc to OF. This relies
on [3/7] instead of Jons initial OF-autoloading patches you didn't like.
As there were no comments at all, I would however postpone this to 2.6.27.

[5/7] is the cleanup patch (originating from you) which completely removes
old driver matching scheme. This should probably wait until 2.6.27, as well.
This relies on [1/7] and [2/7].

[6/7] and [7/7] are a new driver and depend on [3/7]. This can wait for 2.6.27,
as well (i would rather like to see those in -mm to get more testing, though).

Thanks,
Jochen
