Hi Vivien,

I have the solution for the platform driver.

enum chips { max197, max199 };

[ ... ]

static struct platform_device_id max197_driver_ids[] = {
{
.name = "max197",
.driver_data = max197,
}, {
.name = "max199",
.driver_data = max199,
}
};
MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(platform, max197_driver_ids);

In the probe function:

enum chips chip = platform_get_device_id(pdev)->driver_data;

This way you only need a single platform driver, no module alias, and you don't
need strcmp() in the probe function to detect the chip type.
