Subject: i2c module aliases
Date: Wed, 6 Jun 2007 23:32:38 +0200 (CEST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.64.0706062325270.30244@anakin> (raw)
>From browsing through file2alias.c, I have the impression there's a
missing TO_NATIVE() conversion in the handling of 16-bit (hence,
endian-affected) i2c IDs.
This will cause the module aliases to be incorrect when cross-compiling
for a system with a different endianness. Is that correct?
If yes, the patch below adds the missing conversion.
Of course, no driver seems to use `MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(i2c, ...)' yet,
hence nobody noticed.
