[PATCH v5 5/6] at24: Support probing while off

From: Sakari Ailus
Date: Mon Aug 10 2020 - 10:25:33 EST


In certain use cases (where the chip is part of a camera module, and the
camera module is wired together with a camera privacy LED), powering on
the device during probe is undesirable. Add support for the at24 to
execute probe while being powered off. For this to happen, a hint in form
of a device property is required from the firmware.
