Hi,
I have worked on the same problem for the last days and just submitted my solution proposal for review: http://www.mail-archive.com/platform-driver-x86@vger.kernel.org/msg04440.html
One downside with the solution in this set of patches is that more lines are added to the driver. By making use of the i2c_driver.detect() mechanism like in my patch, we can actually reduce the number of lines in the driver.
Looking forward to your comments on my other solution proposal!
/ Martin
