Sorry not to have taken the time to solve this earlier. Moving this driver in "gpio" is fine for me. But I finally do not really like to create this one-driver-catergory for some reasons: - we should be more confident that category will be useful for other drivers - hid-sensors-switch might not stay for long. I guess our maintainer will not like to have one hid-sensor driver for each one of the hundred of sensor classes, especially since this architecture is not fully compliant. I will send details on this issue later. Unless you think this simple driver is a good reason to create a 'gpio' category that will be useful for other drivers, I suggest to give it up and I will work on the architecture issue as soon as I have the time to do it, but it seems it will not be for the 3.11... > >> --- drivers/iio/Kconfig | 1 + drivers/iio/Makefile >> | 1 + drivers/iio/mechanical/Kconfig | 6 ++++++ >> drivers/iio/mechanical/Makefile | 3 +++ 4 files changed, 11 >> insertions(+) create mode 100644 drivers/iio/mechanical/Kconfig >> create mode 100644 drivers/iio/mechanical/Makefile >> >> diff --git a/drivers/iio/Kconfig b/drivers/iio/Kconfig index >> b2f963b..dbed2f1 100644 --- a/drivers/iio/Kconfig +++ >> b/drivers/iio/Kconfig @@ -70,5 +70,6 @@ source >> "drivers/iio/gyro/Kconfig" source "drivers/iio/imu/Kconfig" source >> "drivers/iio/light/Kconfig" source >> "drivers/iio/magnetometer/Kconfig" +source >> "drivers/iio/mechanical/Kconfig" >> >> endif # IIO diff --git a/drivers/iio/Makefile >> b/drivers/iio/Makefile index a0e8cdd..78ec75b 100644 --- >> a/drivers/iio/Makefile +++ b/drivers/iio/Makefile @@ -21,3 +21,4 @@ >> obj-y += frequency/ obj-y += imu/ obj-y += light/ obj-y += >> magnetometer/ +obj-y += mechanical/ diff --git >> a/drivers/iio/mechanical/Kconfig b/drivers/iio/mechanical/Kconfig >> new file mode 100644 index 0000000..b536fa2 --- /dev/null +++ >> b/drivers/iio/mechanical/Kconfig @@ -0,0 +1,6 @@ +# +# Mechanical >> sensors +# +menu "Mechanical sensors" + +endmenu diff --git >> a/drivers/iio/mechanical/Makefile >> b/drivers/iio/mechanical/Makefile new file mode 100644 index >> 0000000..716098f --- /dev/null +++ >> b/drivers/iio/mechanical/Makefile @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +# +# Makefile >> for IIO Mechanical sensors +# >> -- 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
