Hi guys, Sorry for jumping in a bit late, but given that I did not get involved in the discussions that led to this decision, better late than never. I almost had an heart attack when noticing that module i2c-core.ko has suddenly been renamed to i2ccore.ko without an hyphen. Renaming kernel modules is almost always wrong, in particular subsystem core modules. Such renames have an impact at various levels. We just had to change a configuration file in the openSUSE Factory kernel to adjust that change, and this is how I noticed it. But there can be several other issues, including mkinitrd or equivalent tools, as well as documentation. The extra work and confusion is a high price to pay, and it can easily be avoided. So I am kindly asking that you revert this name change before kernel v3.17 final. Rename source files if you really have to, git makes it easy. Or merge the i2c-acpi.c code into i2c-core.c with ifdefs. Or whatever. Just don't rename i2c-core.ko, please.
