Hi Jonathan and Jiri, I am in process of implementing as mfd device. In this case I can keep the core HID stuff in driver/hid and move sensor implantation using IIO to drivers/iio/hid-sensors. In this way if some driver if just want to use HID sensor but want to use some other mechanism to communicate with user mode, they can do in their respective drivers. What do you think about this approach?

There's some pretty strong moves to clasify drivers by function not by 'bus' (which is kind of what hid is I guess?) I do wonder if this driver would work better as an mfd type device with the sensor specific bits each having their own module? Honestly I've never been much of a stickler for where things are as long as someone is happy to look after them. > >> Sorry for my lack of responses on this revised version, been a busy >> week and it's a fairly big review to do. > > Thanks, > -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-iio" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
