I2C blocking issue

[Andrew Armstrong]

Hi Guys,

I have a little question, I am sure will be easily answered. I am
currently trying to access certain I2C devices, such as the AIC33, by
opening up the /dev/I2C/0 port.

This does not seem to want to work, as I assume the AIC33 driver is
somehow locking communications to this I2C device. 

Does anyone know how I can turn off this function in the kernel and
therefore allow 'Random Access' to any I2C ports I need?

Best Regards,

Andrew
