From e97b81ddbb8b8c72b85330ac4a454a4513dcba8a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Mark M. Hoffman" Date: Thu, 23 Mar 2006 16:50:25 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] i2c-parport: Make type parameter mandatory This patch forces the user to specify what type of adapter is present when loading i2c-parport or i2c-parport-light. If none is specified, the driver init simply fails - instead of assuming adapter type 0. This alleviates the sometimes lengthy boot time delays which can be caused by accidentally building one of these into a kernel along with several i2c slave drivers that have lengthy probe routines (e.g. hwmon drivers). Kconfig and documentation updated accordingly. Signed-off-by: Mark M.
