    i2c-ocores: Can add I2C devices to the bus · dd14be4c
    Richard Röjfors authored
    There is sometimes a need for the ocores driver to add devices to the
    bus when installed.
    
    i2c_register_board_info can not always be used, because the I2C devices
     are not known at an early state, they could for instance be connected
     on a I2C bus on a PCI device which has the Open Cores IP.
    
    i2c_new_device can not be used in all cases either since the resulting
    bus nummer might be unknown.
    
    The solution is the pass a list of I2C devices in the platform data to
    the Open Cores driver. This is useful for MFD drivers.
