Follow on to: "Series to add device tree naming to i2c" Teach module-init-tools about the i2c subsystem.Can you please explain what this patch does and why it is needed?It generates the entries needed for the user space module tools to work with the aliases. For example modprobe/depmod. It is a standard part of the kernel module system.What entries, where? What can you do after applying your patch that you couldn't do before?
The drivers you are testing with don't depend on other drivers.
I'm asking because automatic i2c driver loading works just fine for me without patching user-space. So I don't get why your want to change anything. -- Jean Delvare
