 I2C device driver binding control from user-space
 =================================================
 
+.. NOTE::
+   Note: this section is only relevant if you are handling some old code
+   found in kernel 2.6. If you work with more recent kernels, you can

 Up to kernel 2.6.32, many I2C drivers used helper macros provided by
 <linux/i2c.h> which created standard module parameters to let the user
 control how the driver would probe I2C buses and attach to devices. These
