Thank you!

just to let you know, its okay to put my name on the new drivers list: Anthony Petillo
and can you please put me on the mailing list.

I will be developing the driver for Linux kernel version 2.4 only.

Thanks again.

OK, here is your ID:

#define I2C_DRIVERID_MAX6900	63	/* MAX6900 real-time clock	*/

BTW, do you intend to write your driver for Linux 2.4, 2.6, or both?

I reviewed our drivers and none is compatible as far as I can see. The
nearest driver is lm75.c though. Almost similar, but different.

Writing a driver for the AD7414 and AD7415 should be easy. These are
very simple devices as far as I can see. I will assist you on request,
but I'd bet that you won't need much help, if any at all.
