Description

Bug number 489 involves the i2c-pcf-epp.h file and the fact that someone

couldn't compile due to the header file being missing.

The bug is reported as being solved by making alterations to the driver

Quote

"driver fixed and checked in by Simon to compile - no .h file required.

In CVS / 2.6.3.

MDS 3/13/02"

I have just downloaded the 2.4.20 kernel and am looking at using an EPP

PCF8584 i2c adaptor. In checking the documentation particularly

Documentation/i2c/summary I find that

i2c-pcf-epp: PCF8584 on a EPP parallel port (uses i2c-algo-pcf) (BROKEN -

missing i2c-pcf-epp.h

)

It is a minor change but would have saved me a bit of running around.

Sorry if this is the wrong place to bring this up but I thought you looked

after i2c now and fed changes into the kernel. I am not a programmer which is

why I'm asking about documentation only.

If you want to make documentation changes you might also want to think about

the MAINTAINERS file.

The MAINTAINERS file contains the following:

S: Maintained

which probably should be updated as at the very least the URL seems dead. --- we submitted patches for 2.4.19 but it didn't happen.

we'll have to try again.
