           This driver is a replacement for (and was inspired by) an older
           driver named i2c-philips-par.  The new driver supports more devices,
           and makes it easier to add support for new devices.

+          An adapter type parameter is now mandatory.  Please read the file
+          Documentation/i2c/busses/i2c-parport for details.

           Another driver exists, named i2c-parport-light, which doesn't depend
           on the parport driver.  This is meant for embedded systems. Don't say
           Y here if you intend to say Y or M there.
