This was introduced in commit 876989d (mfd: Add device tree probe support for mc13xxx)
for spi and later while introducing support for i2c copied to the i2c driver. Modifying driver details is very strange, for example probing an mc13892 device (instantiated via dt) removes the driver's ability to handle (traditionally probed) mc13783 devices in this case. I'm not aware of any problems that make this hack necessary and if there were some, they'd have to be fixed in the spi/i2c core, not in a driver. Signed-off-by: Uwe Kleine-König <u.kleine-koe...@pengutronix.de> --- Hello Samuel, even though this qualifies as fix, I don't think it's necessary to annoy Linus with it for 3.5. Usually there is only one pmic on each machine so it's not grave when probing one device disables support for another.
