    17 force_addr=0xaddr       Set the I/O base address. Useful for boards 
    18                         that don't set the address in the BIOS. Does not do a 
    19                         PCI force; the device must still be present in lspci. 
    20                         Don't use this unless the driver complains that the 
    21                         base address is not set. 
    22                         Example: 'modprobe i2c-ali15x3 force_addr=0xe800' 
     19* force_addr: int

     26The force_addr parameter is useful for boards that don't set the address 
     27in the BIOS. Does not do a PCI force; the device must still be present 
     28in lspci. Don't use this unless the driver complains that the 
     29base address is not set.

     122 
    122123There are EXPERIMENTAL "hotplug" modules which will enable the 
    123124m7101 device if it is not enabled on your motherboard. 
    …… 
    131132        In the directory prog/hotplug in this package. 
    132133        Must be built separately.
