One reason the driver claims all the EEPROM addresses used by each chip is to address review feedback from Jean Delvare. ISTR the point was safety: letting other drivers potentially access the device was a bad idea. ;) > Problem solved :) Not really. The "eeprom" driver, or various other legacy drivers knowing about the 0x50..0x57 address range, could bind to those addresses. That problem would not be solved. - Dave _______________________________________________ i2c mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lm-sensors.org/mailman/listinfo/i2c
