(I'm the maintainer of LIS3LV02D) I completely agree with you, accelerometer drivers do not belong to hwmon. Unfortunately, so far there has not been any landing place which looked really more relevant. As soon as such a thing is available (maybe an "accelerometer" subsystem) I'll be happy to move the driver :-) Eric --------------000307090007070702080400 Content-Type: text/x-vcard; charset=utf-8; name="E_A_B_Piel.vcf" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="E_A_B_Piel.vcf" begin:vcard fn;quoted-printable:=C3=89ric Piel n;quoted-printable:Piel;=C3=89ric org:Technical University of Delft;Software Engineering Research Group adr:HB 08.080;;Mekelweg 4;Delft;;2628 CD;The Netherlands email;internet:E.A.B.Piel@tudelft.nl tel;work:+31 15 278 6338 tel;cell:+31 6 2437 9135 x-mozilla-html:FALSE url:http://pieleric.free.fr version:2.1 end:vcard --------------000307090007070702080400-- -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
