Jean & I both (independantly) knocked up quick patches to 'lpc_sch' to allow it to load should any of the subsystems (GPIO or SMBus) load OK - it was previously failing at the first subsystem failure. This gave me access to the I2C controller whilst ACPI was active.

It's nice that you assume some level of competence here ;-) Simon. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-i2c" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
