DESCRIPTION

70       The driver.owner field should be set to the module owner of this
71       driver. The driver.name field should be set to the name of this driver.
72
73       For automatic device detection, both detect and address_data must be
74       defined.  class should also be set, otherwise only devices forced with
75       module parameters will be created. The detect function must fill at
76       least the name field of the i2c_board_info structure it is handed upon
77       successful detection, and possibly also the flags field.
78
79       If detect is missing, the driver will still work fine for enumerated
80       devices. Detected devices simply won't be supported. This is expected
81       for the many I2C/SMBus devices which can't be detected reliably, and
82       the ones which can always be enumerated in practice.
83
84       The i2c_client structure which is handed to the detect callback is not
85       a real i2c_client. It is initialized just enough so that you can call
86       i2c_smbus_read_byte_data and friends on it. Don't do anything else with
87       it. In particular, calling dev_dbg and friends on it is not allowed.
