ACPI i2c drivers still need an empty i2c_device_id table I've
fixing this on my TODO but it has been buried in other stuff.
Benjamin if (not saying you should, but if) you want to take a look at
this, fixing the need for the empty table for ACPI devices should be
easy. The problem is these lines in drivers/i2c/i2c-core.c:
i2c_device_probe():
/*
* An I2C ID table is not mandatory, if and only if, a suitable
Device
* Tree match table entry is supplied for the probing device.
*/
if (!driver->id_table &&
!i2c_of_match_device(dev->driver->of_match_table, client))
return -ENODEV;
Which needs to be extended to also check for an ACPI match AFAIK
you can NOT just replace this with i2c_device_match because that would
break manually binding a driver through sysfs.
I have a stashed change for that, just have no time to look closer.
