However, I've had other drivers in the past been pooh-pooh'd by the lm-sensors maintainers because they don't seem to fit exactly what the lm-sensors folks want in a driver. Unfortunately, I seem to be bad at understanding the purpose of lm-sensors. :-) I'd like to get their approval before any work is done to migrate over to lm-sensors. I can see that you tried to submit a driver for an accelerometer chip. This indeed did not quite fit in the hwmon subsystem (although for historical and unfortunate reasons we have a couple of them sitting there at the moment... they should really go away!) Temperature sensors definitely fit in the hwmon subsystem. Humidity sensors... why not, we have already one. -- Jean Delvare -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-usb" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
