For one thing, "pch" is too short. Many other vendors could come up with names with acronym "PCH". For another, Intel has many PCH (Platform Controller Hub) chips, some of them (5/3400 Series, Cougar Point, Patsburg) are or will be supported by the i2c-i801 driver, some of them (Moorestown) will be supported by the upcoming i2c-intel-mid driver (even though the name "PCH" is surprisingly missing from the source code) and your driver only supports one particular model. So please find a name which accurately represents the hardware your driver is for. i2c-topcliff would be fine with me, but you will have to check with Intel, as I know they are quite picky with the usage of code names. As for the driver code, I will not be able to review it, sorry. It's not in my area, I don't have the time and I don't have the hardware. I think it would make sense for Intel people to review and test it before it gets upstream. -- 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
