[PATCH] i2c-parport: Make type parameter mandatory

Browse Source 
This patch forces the user to specify what type of adapter is present when
loading i2c-parport or i2c-parport-light.  If none is specified, the driver
init simply fails - instead of assuming adapter type 0.

This alleviates the sometimes lengthy boot time delays which can be caused
by accidentally building one of these into a kernel along with several i2c
slave drivers that have lengthy probe routines (e.g. hwmon drivers).

Kconfig and documentation updated accordingly.

* Velleman K8000 adapter

* (type=5) Analog Devices evaluation boards: ADM1025, ADM1030, ADM1031
* (type=6) Barco LPT->DVI (K5800236) adapter
These devices use different pinout configurations, so you have to tell
the driver what you have, using the type module parameter. There is no
way to autodetect the devices. Support for different pinout configurations
can be easily added when needed.
Earlier kernels defaulted to type=0 (Philips). But now, if the type
parameter is missing, the driver will simply fail to initialize.

This driver is a replacement for (and was inspired by) an older
driver named i2c-philips-par. The new driver supports more devices,
and makes it easier to add support for new devices.
An adapter type parameter is now mandatory. Please read the file
Documentation/i2c/busses/i2c-parport for details.
Another driver exists, named i2c-parport-light, which doesn't depend
on the parport driver. This is meant for embedded systems. Don't say
Y here if you intend to say Y or M there.
