i2c: Check for address business before creating clients

Jean Delvare · Jean Delvare · commit c1159f9e8927 · 2008-08-10T22:56:16.000+02:00
We check for address business in i2c_probe_address(), i2c_detect_address() and i2c_new_probed_device(), but this isn't sufficient. Drivers can call i2c_attach_client() and i2c_new_device() on any address, so we must check the address there as well. This fixes bug #11239: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11239 Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>
