Ok, I'll probably submit a patch for the specific case of the slow light sensor to the IIO guys later on, and if I find cases where we get wins on other I2C heavy platforms (like ARM netbooks) I'll send those out as device-specific changes as well. <snip> > It is used by subsystems where dependencies between devices are known to > generally follow the structure of the device hierarchy within the kernel > (i.e. they are well-defined buses with well-defined parents and children).
