While I understand where you are coming from, I am not typically that aggressive.
Such removals force vendors who are not really forthcoming with upstreaming to
deviate even further from upstream. It makes them even less likely to submit their
code upstream, and it may result in enforcing their belief that upstream doesn't
really care about vendors struggling to release boards and systems to their
customers.
that now, but I did it for one i2c master driver recently. So, it may be
possible. pmbus.h got moved just one layer upwards, see the patch description
there.
I prefer the series to go upstream via the subsystem tree; if you prefer that I
take it via I2C, just let me know.
Series applied to hwmon-next.

No runtime testing because of no HW, but buildbot is happy with this series at
least. A branch can be found here:

Thanks and kind regards,
