Well, Aurelien Jarno confirmed that he switched from i2c-elv to i2c-parport without any problem, and I am myself testing i2c-parport and i2c-parport-light on two different systems for weeks now, without a problem. So I think that everyone can safely move to these new drivers now, and the best way to invite them to do so is probably to simply remove the older drivers from the kernel tree. The reason why I am proposing this now is that we will have to update many bus drivers to include the class declaration, as it has been discussed on another thread of this list. The fewer bus drivers, the less work ;) And the same would apply to other "bulk" jobs on drivers. I saw that a few fixes were made to these old i2c over parport drivers to make them compliant with newer GCC releases or something, and thought it was a waste of time to go on fixing these deprecated drivers.
