Hi, I have a question regarding dynimically created i2c devices. If I have a card with an i2c device on it. Once I load a driver for that card, it uses its knowledge of the hardware and registers a new i2c device using i2c_new_device. Then at some point a driver for that i2c device is loaded, it calls i2c_add_driver, then its probe() method is called with the dynamically created device. So far so good. Now I unload the i2c driver, it calls i2c_del_driver(), and then, IIUC, __detach_adapter will be called for all devices attached to this driver, including our device from above, then i2c_unregister_device will be called for it, a comment to which says
"reverse effect of i2c_new_device()" So, our newly created device is gone, and loading the i2c driver again will not find it any more?... This doesn't seem to be the case, so, I think, the comment is wrong and has to be fixed.
