Hello,

Plus you don't address the main issues. Your syntax gives you no way to
support two i2c-tiny-usb adapters with different chips at a specific
address. The sysfs interface supports such a setup. Also instantiating
the wrong devices is worse than instating a device that doesn't exist
at all. So the use of i2c_new_probed_device() here will randomly help
in a limited number of cases and randomly be problematic in others.
Hard to justify...
As you seem to have a solution for multiple devices of the same type by
using sysfs, how to do you decide which one to use? You might be able to
probe just one, but my simple mind currently doesn't come up with a
solution which device one has to probe. Just because I'm curious... ;)
