driver_register() - probe routine
Hi,
Using linux 2.6, I have problem with an i2c bus driver. The driver does
a driver_register() call in its init entry point.
In that process it registers a probe routine, but this one never gets
called. As a result the i2c bus is not working, since the i2c bus driver
never got a chance to register itself w/ the i2c_add_adapter() function
as described in the linux journal article:
http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/7136
Any clues where I should look on why this probe routine is never called
by the i2c core driver, or bythe driver core (it is hard to know which
one should be responsible for the callback)? My system is based on a
freescale ppc MPC8270. I am using the
./drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-mpc8260.c (provided as a patch).
Note that I plan to use the i2c-dev.c driver to access my i2c devices
(using the /dev/i2c-0 special file).
Thanks a lot
