Am I reading this wrong? It looks to me like driver.attach_adapter,
int ddcmon_attach_adapter(struct i2c_adapter *adapter)
is always called when a bus is going to be probed.

Most of the drivers implement it like this:
int ddcmon_attach_adapter(struct i2c_adapter *adapter)
{
	return i2c_detect(adapter, &addr_data, ddcmon_detect);
}

It's then i2c_detect() that goes and looks for the devices and decides to call
ddcmon_detect(); I see that ddcmon_detect() will not be called if none of the
devices are present.

So the wakeup function can be added to the attach_adapter code. Isn't the whole
point of the attach_adapter function to allow the implementation of a custom
probing function?
