All these drivers have an i2c probe function which doesn't use the
"struct i2c_device_id *id" parameter, so they can trivially be
converted to the "probe_new" style of probe with a single argument.
This is part of an ongoing transition to single-argument i2c probe
functions. Old-style probe functions involve a call to i2c_match_id:
in drivers/i2c/i2c-core-base.c,
/*
* When there are no more users of probe(),
* rename probe_new to probe.
*/
if (driver->probe_new)
status = driver->probe_new(client);
else if (driver->probe)
status = driver->probe(client,
i2c_match_id(driver->id_table, client));
else
status = -EINVAL;
Drivers which don't need the second parameter can be declared using
probe_new instead, avoiding the call to i2c_match_id. Drivers which do
can still be converted to probe_new-style, calling i2c_match_id
themselves (as is done currently for of_match_id).
This change was done using the following Coccinelle script, and fixed
up for whitespace changes:
