Hi Jean,

This actually makes a lot of sense.  The remaining question is,
"To where do we kick them?"

After reading Jonathan's iio.pdf, I'm all on-board with the
adxl345 driver being placed in this new subsystem.  However,
IIO subsystem isn't released into the "vanilla" kernel yet.

Until the IIO subsystem is finished and I can port the driver
into it, what's the appropriate place for the adxl345 to
reside?  misc?  A new directory?

Chris

P.S. All references to hwmon will be removed, and the
programmer who added them in will be flogged.  :-) Thanks for
pointing that out!
