That being said I was never happy to see these accelerometer drivers in hwmon, they don't have much in common with traditional hardware monitoring chips so they should have their own subsystem. Or they could go to drivers/mfd as these chips usually have many functions (as outlined by the above summary line.) -- Jean Delvare -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-i2c" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
