Err, I'm confused. We _already_ have an "i2c" bus type, and we already assign dev.bus = &i2c_bus_type, but for i2c devices (or slaves if you prefer), not adapters (masters). Doing the same for adapters (the parents) and devices (the children) looks totally wrong to me. Are you really certain that i2c-adapters should be bus devices rather than class devices? -- Jean Delvare -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
