Unless I misunderstand you, I think they do already. Note that only 'i2cdetect' shows a device as busy *IFF* there is a driver bound to it. The internal 'i2c_check_addr_busy' does not care about a driver being bound. You can check this by trying to use i2c_new_ancillary_device() with an address which is already described in DT but which driver is disabled.

Aha, is it easy enough to distinguish that difference in user-space so that we can present a specific character to indicate this in i2cdetect? Or is that not so easy? -- Kieran

I thought about it shortly but have not come up with a way of doing that. This is the code in i2cdetect: /* Set slave address */ if (ioctl(file, I2C_SLAVE, i+j) < 0) { if (errno == EBUSY) { printf("UU "); continue; } else { fprintf(stderr, "Error: Could not set " "address to 0x%02x: %s\n", i+j, strerror(errno)); return -1; } } So, if we chose to use another errno to indicate 'reserved' and update i2cdetect, all old versions of i2cdetect will have ugly error messages. And adding another IOCTL just for printing reserved addresses neither sounds great.

Indeed, a different errno would be about all we could do - and it would seemingly leave old i2cdetects with complete failures, if it goes through that non-EBUSY code path. Ayeeeee :-S -- Kieran

Oh how I long to be able to give these 'identifiable names' within the system, but that will probably mess up all the driver matching and binding, so would be quite tricky perhaps. But I like the ability to distinguish the two different types.

I haven't found a way yet to use 'name' to give more meaningful descriptions to dummies. My best bet so far is to use additional links in sysfs.

I was assuming the opposite but I double checked and you're right of course. Sorry for the noise.
