See how I am not the only one complaining about the lack of an additional parameter to i2c sysfs callback functions, that would let us have a single callback function for several similar sysfs entries, much like we were doing in 2.4. Now that Yani seems to pretend other (non-i2c) sysfs callback functions work that way, I am even more confused and really wonder why it was decided we would not be able to use that possibility. -- Jean Delvare http://www.ensicaen.ismra.fr/~delvare/
