Hi Vivien,

I have the solution for the platform driver.

enum chips { max197, max199 };

[ ... ]

static struct platform_device_id max197_driver_ids[] = {
        {
		.name = "max197",
		.driver_data = max197,
	}, {
		.name = "max199",
		.driver_data = max199,
	}
};
MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(platform, max197_driver_ids);

In the probe function:

	enum chips chip = platform_get_device_id(pdev)->driver_data;

This way you only need a single platform driver, no module alias, and you don't
need strcmp() in the probe function to detect the chip type.
