    [PATCH] I2C: Separate non-i2c hwmon drivers from i2c-core (2/9) · 400c455e
    Jean Delvare authored
    Convert i2c-isa from a dumb i2c_adapter into a pseudo i2c-core for ISA
    hardware monitoring drivers. The isa i2c_adapter is no more registered
    with i2c-core, drivers have to explicitely connect to it using the new
    i2c_isa_{add,del}_driver interface.
    
    At this point, all ISA chip drivers are useless, because they still
    register with i2c-core in the hope i2c-isa is registered there as well,
    but it isn't anymore.
    
    The fake bus will be named i2c-9191 in sysfs. This is the number it
    already had internally in various places, so it's not exactly new,
    except that now the number is seen in userspace as well. This shouldn't
    be a problem until someone really has 9192 I2C busses in a given system
    ;)
    
    The fake bus will no more show in "i2cdetect -l", as it won't be seen by
    i2c-dev anymore (not being registered with i2c-core), which is a good
    thing, as i2cdetect/i2cdump/i2cset cannot operate on this fake bus
    anyway.
