Hi,

+ retval = rmi_register_sensor(&instancedata->rmiphysdrvr, platformdata->perfunctiondata);
+ if (retval) {
+ dev_err(&client->dev, "%s: Failed to Register %s sensor drivers\n",
+ __func__, instancedata->rmiphysdrvr.name);
+ i2c_set_clientdata(client, NULL);

I originally just wanted to say that this line can be removed. Then I
remembered that I already sent a patch for a similar driver in staging
(dc7b202a4ee6cb686e2bbef80c84443f43ec91bd). The staging driver looks in
a better shape to me. Do you know about it?

Hi Wolfram,

That call is required in order to register the sensor device on the rmi bus, so that the rmi functions can be associated with it. Without that call, the driver will not function.

I'm afraid I can't locate the commit you specified. I do find a driver in staging/ste_rmi4/synaptics_i2c_rmi4.[ch] - is that the one? If not which, tree/branch can I find it in?

Thanks,
Chris
