[lm-sensors] [PATCH 2.6] I2C: Rewrite i2c_probe

[David van Hoose]

Hi Jean,

Good thing you brought this up. This is a site of a problem I see.
I snipped all but a particular line in source you are posting so you can
see.

As you can see in the below code, the call to i2c_smbus_xfer() has
I2C_SMBUS_QUICK in the 2nd to last parameter.
Looking at the definition of i2c_smbus_xfer(), we see that the parameters
are:
extern s32 i2c_smbus_xfer (struct i2c_adapter * adapter, u16 addr,
                           unsigned short flags,
                           char read_write, u8 command, int size,
                           union i2c_smbus_data * data);

As the code below shows, the 3rd to last should be I2C_SMBUS_QUICK. Is this
an accurate assumption? If not, can you please explain this? I have seen
this problem pretty much everywhere i2c_smbus_xfer() and
i2c_smbus_xfer_emulated() are called. If this is a semantic bug, I will be
glad to patch this today. You can also see in the removed block that you did
type it as it was before.

What is the verdict?
