I am trying to learn to write a i2c driver on raspberry pi board and i have taken groove LCD back-light.Here driver.probe is not getting called whereas driver's inserted in system as i can see in dmesg.
Init code of driver is getting called, and code =>
static int lcd_probe(struct i2c_client *i2c_client, const struct i2c_device_id *i2c_id)
{
int ret = 0;
//struct lcd_data *lcd_data;
// struct device *dev = &i2c_client->dev;
// lcd_data->client = i2c_client;
pr_debug("lcd_probe : calling the probe\n");
pr_debug("lcd_probe : i2c_client->addr = %d, i2c_client_name = %s\n",
i2c_client->addr, i2c_client->name);
return ret;
}
static struct i2c_device_id lcd_id[] = {
{"lcd", 0},
{}
};
MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(i2c, lcd_id);
static struct i2c_driver lcd_driver = {
.driver = {
.name = "lcd",
.owner = THIS_MODULE,
},
.probe = lcd_probe,
// .remove = lcd_remove,
// .attach_adapter = lcd_attach,
.detect = lcd_detect,
.id_table = lcd_id,
};
static int __init lcd_init(void)
{
pr_debug("lcd_init : calling init\n");
return (i2c_add_driver(&lcd_driver));
}
and dmesg =>
[ 1.971009] lcd_init : calling init
But driver.probe is not registering in i2c subsystem. board file initialization =>
Board init code =>
/** start aartyaa lcd i2c driver */
printk(KERN_INFO "board file registering i2c lcd device\n");
i2c_register_board_info_dt(1, lcd_i2c_devices, ARRAY_SIZE(lcd_i2c_devices));
i2c_board_info code =>
/** aaryaa i2c lcd struct */
static struct i2c_board_info __initdata lcd_i2c_devices[] = {
{
.type = "lcd",
.addr = 0x62,
},
};
i added debugs in i2c_register_device and i found driver prove device is not getting called. dmesg i have linked dmesg link
It seems that i need to register in platform also ..
How probe gets called in i2c ... ? Any help will be appreciated. Thank you...!!!
