Subject: i2c_probe() vs i2c_detect()
Date: Wed, 2 Apr 2003 17:23:07 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20030403012307.GA6037@kroah.com> (raw)

Hi all,

Can anyone tell me why both i2c_probe() and i2c_detect() are in the
kernel at the same time?  They both almost do the same thing, with the
exception being i2c_detect() can handle i2c devices on the isa bus.

It kind of looks like the older i2c code and drivers used the
i2c_probe() call, while the lm_sensors code used i2c_detect().

If there are no objections, I'll merge the two of them, cutting about 2k
out of the kernel :)

thanks,

greg k-h
