A bit late to the game here but this looks like the chip has some regulator control functionality as well as monitoring functionality (and the product page on the Summit web site suggests so also). This means that when fully supported in software the driver would cross multiple subsystems so it might make sense to start off with a MFD rather than direct I2C control? If the non-monitoring functionality can't be controlled from software this isn't an issue. -- 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/
