Hello,
I have a legacy i2c client driver probing issue. I use kernel version 2.6.27, and wm8750 external codec. The wm8750.c in sound/soc/codecs has a legacy i2c interface (e.g. use attach_adapter() callback). The callback just calls to i2c_probe(). Inside i2c_probe() it checks if the i2c address already been used, and fails there.
In our i2c bus driver, we used i2c_register_board_info() with a static i2c_board_info structure. And then i2c_add_numbered_adapter() is called.
From code trace, it eventually calls i2c_attach_client(). So I think the probe function will for sure to fail.
How does these two related ? You are calling i2c_attach_client() then why your probe function will fail. In fact it will never called.
I wonder how this would work? How can i2c_probe() succeed if it checks for address in use?
If it is not called then how can you decide whether it succeeded or not?

This question is more related to i2c instead of alsa soc. I am sure the SoC part is good, the i2c address is passed to wm8750 through snd_soc_codec_device.
