can you please take a look at the patch I sent out earlier? https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/3034991/ https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/3035041/ https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/3035021/ thanks, rui > Fix this by using ACPI hardware ID. > > Signed-off-by: Jarkko Nikula <[email protected]> > Cc: Mika Westerberg <[email protected]> > --- > Generated on top of v3.12-rc4-29-g0e7a3ed. > --- > drivers/i2c/i2c-core.c | 2 +- > 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) > > diff --git a/drivers/i2c/i2c-core.c b/drivers/i2c/i2c-core.c > index 29d3f04..6dd0c53 100644 > --- a/drivers/i2c/i2c-core.c > +++ b/drivers/i2c/i2c-core.c > @@ -1111,7 +1111,7 @@ static acpi_status acpi_i2c_add_device(acpi_handle > handle, u32 level, > if (ret < 0 || !info.addr) > return AE_OK; > > - strlcpy(info.type, dev_name(&adev->dev), sizeof(info.type)); > + strlcpy(info.type, acpi_device_hid(adev), sizeof(info.type)); > if (!i2c_new_device(adapter, &info)) { > dev_err(&adapter->dev, > "failed to add I2C device %s from ACPI\n", -- 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
