Well, i2c-dev is working fine, so i2c in general is working (w/
2.6.17-rc1). And also the initialization of the ibm i2c driver works
fine, i.e. all other registers can be accessed. It's only the directcntl
which throws the exception.

I see :) So if that doesn't work, what is the preferred way of testing
for existence of a device in a kernel module? Should I just
unconditionally i2c_client_register() a static struct and then
i2c_master_send() to see if it works?

Nope, this is correct, I already checked. :)


Thanks!
