Ubuntu 22.04 - i2c included in Kernel instead of module #46

The command on the readme doesn't show i2c-dev to be loaded if it's compiled into the kernel. lsmod doesn't return anything, despite i2c-dev being ready to use:

$ lsmod | grep i2c_dev
$ grep I2C_CHARDEV /boot/config-$(uname -r)
CONFIG_I2C_CHARDEV=y
$

It took me a while to understand that I was looking for another error. Please include a note on the readme. More about this on a question on askubuntu.com.

I addressed this in the readme, now explicitly loading the i2c_dev module is only guided if it is required.
