	   Callback for device suspend

       resume
	   Callback for device resume

       command
	   Callback for bus-wide signaling (optional)

       driver
	   Device driver model driver

       id_table
	   List of I2C devices supported by this driver

       detect
	   Callback for device detection

       address_list
	   The I2C addresses to probe (for detect)

       clients
	   List of detected clients we created (for i2c-core use only)

DESCRIPTION

       The driver.owner field should be set to the module owner of this driver. The driver.name field should be set to the name of this driver.

       For automatic device detection, both detect and address_data must be defined.  class should also be set, otherwise only devices forced with
       module parameters will be created. The detect function must fill at least the name field of the i2c_board_info structure it is handed upon
       successful detection, and possibly also the flags field.

       If detect is missing, the driver will still work fine for enumerated devices. Detected devices simply won't be supported. This is expected
       for the many I2C/SMBus devices which can't be detected reliably, and the ones which can always be enumerated in practice.

       The i2c_client structure which is handed to the detect callback is not a real i2c_client. It is initialized just enough so that you can
       call i2c_smbus_read_byte_data and friends on it. Don't do anything else with it. In particular, calling dev_dbg and friends on it is not
       allowed.
