on cheap variants of a board but you have no way to tell them apart), or
it may have different addresses from one board to the next (manufacturer
changing its design without notice). In this case, you can call
-i2c_new_probed_device() instead of i2c_new_device().
+i2c_new_scanned_device() instead of i2c_new_device().
Example (from the nxp OHCI driver)::
i2c_adap = i2c_get_adapter(2);
memset(&i2c_info, 0, sizeof(struct i2c_board_info));
strscpy(i2c_info.type, "isp1301_nxp", sizeof(i2c_info.type));
- isp1301_i2c_client = i2c_new_probed_device(i2c_adap, &i2c_info,
- normal_i2c, NULL);
+ isp1301_i2c_client = i2c_new_scanned_device(i2c_adap, &i2c_info,
+ normal_i2c, NULL);
i2c_put_adapter(i2c_adap);
(...)
}
The driver which instantiated the I2C device is responsible for destroying
it on cleanup. This is done by calling i2c_unregister_device() on the
pointer that was earlier returned by i2c_new_device() or
-i2c_new_probed_device().
+i2c_new_scanned_device().
Method 3: Probe an I2C bus for certain devices
----------------------------------------------
Sometimes you do not have enough information about an I2C device, not even
-to call i2c_new_probed_device(). The typical case is hardware monitoring
+to call i2c_new_scanned_device(). The typical case is hardware monitoring
chips on PC mainboards. There are several dozen models, which can live
at 25 different addresses. Given the huge number of mainboards out there,
it is next to impossible to build an exhaustive list of the hardware
don't know the exact address it uses. This happens on TV adapters for
example, where the same driver supports dozens of slightly different
models, and I2C device addresses change from one model to the next. In
-that case, you can use the i2c_new_probed_device() variant, which is
+that case, you can use the i2c_new_scanned_device() variant, which is
similar to i2c_new_device(), except that it takes an additional list of
possible I2C addresses to probe. A device is created for the first
responsive address in the list. If you expect more than one device to be
-present in the address range, simply call i2c_new_probed_device() that

-The call to i2c_new_device() or i2c_new_probed_device() typically happens
+The call to i2c_new_device() or i2c_new_scanned_device() typically happens
in the I2C bus driver. You may want to save the returned i2c_client
reference for later use.

Each I2C device which has been created using i2c_new_device() or
-i2c_new_probed_device() can be unregistered by calling
+i2c_new_scanned_device() can be unregistered by calling
i2c_unregister_device(). If you don't call it explicitly, it will be
called automatically before the underlying I2C bus itself is removed, as a
device can't survive its parent in the device driver model.
