Hi,
Chris Elston pointed out an oversight that I made in
drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-mv64xxx.c. I didn't set the adapter owner and
class fields. (The ctlr is a basic i2c ctlr residing on the
hostbridge/Northbridge.)
My question is, should I set the class field to I2C_CLASS_HWMON or
I2C_CLASS_ALL? Theoretically [AFAIK], this ctlr can talk to any type of
i2c client so I2C_CLASS_ALL seems like the right one to use. However,
no other driver uses it which worries me.
I searched the FAQ and googled for previous email threads. There was a
discussion around a year ago that touched on it but I couldn't find
anything definitive.
What is the correct one to use?
Thanks,
Mark
