I think the best course of action would be to move ams, applesmc, hdaps and hp_accel into drivers/*/platform (I'd say drivers/x86/platform except that I think apple one might not be x86 only). lis3lv02d could ether go into drivers/misc or stay where it is for the time being, pending resolution on overall IIO/Input/accelerometers decision. I'd take it in input/misc but accelerometer guys need to decide on common sysfs layout for such devices. -- Dmitry -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-input" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
