Hmm, after thinking about it for a while and a couple of times, I get
the impression that the functionality of i2c_scan_dimm_bus() should
better be in userspace, i.e. a udev helper. I could imagine introducing
a new functionality macro I2C_FUNC_DIMM_BUS which can be detected in
userspace via i2c-dev. Based on that, the helper can do whatever
necessary. What do you think?
