Subject: i2c/pcf8574: No arbitrary initialization
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.24-rc1~1351
X-Git-Url: https://err.no/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=553515e5c54dbf3340cd6773aaf0acb53291d6ad;p=linux-2.6

i2c/pcf8574: No arbitrary initialization

Do not initialize the PCF8574 with an arbitrary value. Users will have
to write the initial value to sysfs themselves.
