The IC being used in those devices is a bmi323 but as a result of how the ACPI table reports that device, it is detected by the existing kernel module and we have no way of differentiating until after the chip ID probe. > > The module loaded is bmc150-accel-i2c.c which currently doesn't support the bmi323 and the loading of the module just fails at chip check. bmc150 driver supports multiple accelerometer sensors such as bma222, bma280, bmi055 and all of them are having similar register map, but the bmi323 register map is completely different from bmc150. > > I have solved the problem by expanding the current bmc150-accel-i2c.c and bmc150-accel-core.c files to handle that IC in almost every part: gyroscope, accelerometer and temperature sensor. > > What is the best way of organizing code to have this module mainlined? Is it correct leaving files called bmc150-accel-* even if it is managing another IC and and not just the accelerometer part anymore? > > TIA for your time. > > Best regards, > Denis Benato Regards Jagath
