Hmm, after thinking about it for a while and a couple of times, I get the impression that the functionality of i2c_scan_dimm_bus() should better be in userspace, i.e. a udev helper. I could imagine introducing a new functionality macro I2C_FUNC_DIMM_BUS which can be detected in userspace via i2c-dev. Based on that, the helper can do whatever necessary. What do you think?
