      If i2c device probing fails, then there is no driver to dereference
      after calling i2c_new_device(). Stop assuming that probing will always
      succeed, to avoid NULL pointer dereferences. We have an easier access
      to the driver anyway.

      i2c: Hide probe errors caused by ACPI resource conflicts · 18669eab
      Jean Delvare authored
      When an ACPI resource conflict is detected, error messages are already
      printed by ACPI. There's no point in causing the driver core to print
      more error messages, so return one of the error codes for which no
      message is printed.
      
      This fixes bug #14293:

      There is no point in implementing a detect callback for the LTC4215
      and LTC4245, as these devices can't be detected. It was there solely
      to handle "force" module parameters to instantiate devices, but now
      we have a better sysfs interface that can do the same.
      
      So we can get rid of the ugly module parameters and the detect
      callbacks. This shrinks the binary module sizes by 36% and 46%,
      respectively.

      Global values for service time and utilization are garbage. For

      higher than normal.

      So until this is debugged, revert the bad commit.

      We cannot delay for the first dispatch of the async queue if it
      hasn't dispatched at all, since that could present a local user
      DoS attack vector using an app that just did slow timed sync reads
      while filling memory.
