Place-Holder for a driver

Place-Holder for a driver

[pavan_savoy]

Hi,

The OMAP Zoom2 board has a bluetooth chip which needs to be enabled to be used. When running on Android, the Bluetooth service of Android uses the rfkill sysfs entry to turn on bluetooth.

So I linked the Bluetooth enable GPIO to the sys-fs entry, Now the question is where should/does this driver fit in ?

I've thought of drivers/misc, Any suggestions are welcome.

Thanks & Regards,
Pavan Savoy.

Hi,

The drivers/bluetooth folder as I've observed has mostly the transport layer of bluetooth devices. Say an USB driver or an Serial Line discipline driver or PCMCIA.

My thought was based on something like hp-wmi laptop input driver for wireless LAN, Bluetooth devices on the laptop.

So it is logical ?

regards,
Pavan

it depends a little bit. If it is purely architecture specific then it  
might fit better with the arch drivers. If it is has a more general  
use, then drivers/misc/ is fine. Drivers like thinkpad_acpi (which  
includes the Bluetooth rfkill switch) are also located there.
