From 5fb4523afbffae5a5cec4989ee4c9fbc3dbdef33 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jean Delvare Date: Mon, 26 Jan 2009 21:19:57 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] i2c: Warn on deprecated binding model use Let the kernel developers know that i2c_attach_client() and i2c_detach_client() are deprecated and should no longer be used. Drivers using these should be converted to the standard device driver binding model (probe and remove methods.)
