Subject: [RFC PATCH 0/2] check I2C device id for pca984x chips

Hi!

This series tries to check the I2C device id, but instead of open
coding the check in the pca954x driver, I have a new function in
the core doing the work.

The code is only compile-tested, hence the RFC, and I would really
like a Tested-by: tag from Adrian who presumably have one of these
chips.

Also, I'm not sure if I should list all manufacturers that I know
about in the header, or if I should settle for the one that is
actually used and leave the others to be added by whomever needs
them...

Cheers,
peda

Peter Rosin (2):
  i2c: add i2c_get_device_id() to get the standard i2c device id
  i2c: mux: pca954x: verify the device id of the pca984x chips
