From 2d2a7cff1b63cde1e2d981eea8ae9e69ae9ce96d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jean Delvare Date: Sun, 4 Oct 2009 22:53:42 +0200 Subject: ltc4215/ltc4245: Discard obsolete detect methods There is no point in implementing a detect callback for the LTC4215 and LTC4245, as these devices can't be detected. It was there solely to handle "force" module parameters to instantiate devices, but now we have a better sysfs interface that can do the same. So we can get rid of the ugly module parameters and the detect callbacks. This shrinks the binary module sizes by 36% and 46%, respectively. Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare Cc: Ira W.
