These parameters were known as "probe" (to let the driver probe for an extra address), "force" (to forcibly attach the driver to a given device) and "ignore" (to prevent a driver from probing a given address). -With the conversion of the i2c subsystem to the standard device driver +With the conversion of the I2C subsystem to the standard device driver binding model, it became clear that these per-module parameters were no longer needed, and that a centralized implementation was possible. The new, sysfs-based interface is described in the documentation file |
