Hi Jonathan, Thanks for taking at look at it. On Friday 11 December 2009 04:45:24 Jonathan Cameron wrote: > Dear Steven, > > Mostly looks good to me.

Yeah, thats on my todo list, but I thought I should post the bare driver to get some feedback before I got too far along... > Only one I'm really fussy about is making sure you use the unsigned > strict_strtoul where appropriate.

I had originally used strict_strtoul, then for some reason I can't remember (probably caffeine deprivation) I changed them.

I wasn't sure either; currently, the only use I'm familiar with is to combine the magnetometer with an accelerometer to create a tilt compensated digital compass. In practice, the raw data needs some massaging to be usefull, so the plan is to have a daemon that collects the inputs from the accelerometer and the magnetometer and does the processing and apps would talk to it, so I'm not fixated on any particular interface. Anyway, I'll cobble together something for Documentation/input/ (for now) and fix those strict_strtol (and the ints) and respin the patch.
