I can use them as an example. since mma845[1-3] have same operation flow, and data byte order, but mma8450 is different on both register address and data byte order. Do you think split mma8450 and mma845x (8451, 8452, 8453) into two file is better? > > Shift it over to input and I'll do a full review. > -- 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
