Anything that is called a drivers/misc driver to me must qualify as "there can't possibly be a second driver with the same semantics", otherwise it should be part of another subsystem with clear rules, or be put into its own file system. While it seems that right now everyone is just trying to keep move the driver to some other subsystem, I think it's worth noting that it is indeed a useful thing to have the driver, I'm optimistic that we can find some place for it. ;-) Now how about the IIO stuff? This is the first time I've even heard about it. Does it have any major disadvantages besides being staging-quality?
