Not able to detect a new adxl345 i2c device with driver

[Mrigendra Chaubey]

Hi all,

I am stuck at this,

4.4.92-bone-rt-r19

/home/nikhil/bbblatest/bb-kernel/KERNEL/drivers/iio/accel/adxl345_core.c

/home/nikhil/bbblatest/bb-kernel/KERNEL/drivers/iio/accel/adxl345_i2c.c

I compiled this driver as a module, and 

echo adxl345_i2c 0x53 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-2/new_device

so now I can see 

root@arm:/sys/devices/platform/ocp/4819c000.i2c/i2c-2/2-0053# cat name

adxl345_i2c

lsmod output

snd_timer              19390  1 snd_pcm

snd                    60164  3 snd_soc_core,snd_timer,snd_pcm

tda998x                11384  0

soundcore               7620  1 snd

uio_pdrv_genirq         3981  0

uio                     9208  1 uio_pdrv_genirq

leds_gpio               3740  0

adxl345_i2c             2359  0

adxl345_core            2660  1 adxl345_i2c

ip_tables              12312  3 iptable_filter,iptable_mangle,iptable_nat

x_tables               17789  3 ip_tables,iptable_filter,iptable_mangle

So my driver is working. I have put a print in probe function inside driver but I can't see that print function to be printing.That means the driver is not probing for my i2c device.

What else need to be done in order to associate this device and driver?

I got this,

my driver name was 

adxl_i2c

my device name was

adxl345

instantiating correct device made my probe function work right away.

Now I will try to do it device tree way.
