From de81d2aaebc8e5e5167cb93f674c57705898e45e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Brownell Date: Tue, 22 May 2007 19:49:16 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] i2c: Legacy i2c drivers shouldn't issue uevents Prevent legacy drivers from issuing uevents for device creation/removal, so that userspace can't cause modprobing loops for them. This became a problem for some legacy PC drivers. I can't easily see it becoming an issue with I2C legacy drivers, but consistency-in-paranoia seems likely to be a good thing here. For usable i2c-level driver model uevents, just switch to a new-style driver.
