Re: Q: define i2c nodes in device tree?

Hi Timur:

You need to have a "gpio I2C" device driver that registers the same name =

as what's in the DTS, like this:

Thanks, that did the trick; a proper naming is apparently

pca8575:gpio@20 {
        compatible =3D "nxp,pca8575";
        device_type =3D "gpio";
        reg =3D <0x20 1>;
};

Now the driver is called, but complains that no platform data is present.  =
Still have to figure out how to pass that... :-/

An other confusing thing: although the probe function fails with error -EIN=
VAL, the device gets registered:

<7>[    0.801814] i2c 1-0020: uevent
<7>[    0.802213] pcf857x 1-0020: probe
<7>[    0.802236] pcf857x 1-0020: no platform data
<4>[    0.802265] pcf857x: probe of 1-0020 failed with error -22
<7>[    0.807980] i2c-adapter i2c-1: client [pca8575] registered with bus i=
d 1-0020

drwxr-xr-x    2 0        0               0 Jan  1 00:00 1-0022

Is this the intended behaviour?

Thanks, Albrecht.
