Not sure if I want to use it as a starting point or even for reference since it is gplv3.

If there is no activity yet, question is if I should write individual drivers or if I should define a PMBus infrastructure on top of i2c/smbus first. Any thoughts on which approach would be more likely to be accepted into the kernel ?
