It is very common to name drivers by the name of the first supported device, and changing a driver name is always a source of trouble. -- Jean Delvare -- 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
