Subject: [PATCH] I2C: refactor message in i2c_detach_client
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.14-rc1~752^2~42
X-Git-Url: https://err.no/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=7bef559455fc71f66f8573cc1aafe1dd33966c1c;p=linux-2.6

[PATCH] I2C: refactor message in i2c_detach_client

We could refactor the error message 34 different i2c drivers print if
i2c_detach_client() fails in this function itself. Saves quite a few
lines of code. Documentation is updated to reflect that change.

Note that this patch should be applied after Rudolf Marek's w83792d
patches.
