Hi Greg, Guenter and Chris.

Coming back to the stuff discussed previously[0].

Chris Eastwood has made most of these (i.e. LEDs and buttons, the
buzzers may work on at least some of the devices via some other serial
device) working (AFAIU based on the previously mentioned code at
Github[1]), he told me in several iterations of private mail.

I'm not sure now, whether anything based on this code would be
appropriate for the mainline kernel, since Guenter mentioned he'd prefer
a mfd core driver for all that... OTOH, the later may probably never
happen, and Chris' work seems to already do the job.

I don't know however, whether he needs to patch any other places in the
kernel, but I'm sure he can show his work (and ask questions) better
than I, thereby inviting him to do so.
Greg you had mentioned before that you might be able to spend some time
on this, so if you could help Chris, that would be great.


Cheers,
Chris.
