[lm-sensors] Moving the lis3lv02d driver

[Guenter Roeck]

Hi,

we discussed moving the lis3lv02d driver to another location earlier. 

Unfortunately, I don't find the thread anymore, and I don't recall
if we reached a conclusion where to move it to.

Any thoughts ?

Thanks,
Guenter

I think you are looking for this thread:

I would be happy with _any_ solution which moves the lis3lv02d driver
outside of drivers/hwmon.

The difficulty I see is that hp_accel depends on lis3lv02d, and
hp_accel would normally go to drivers/platform/x86, but lis3lv02d can't
live there. So doing the right thing would need some work to fix the
dependencies.

Ah yes, that problem. And moving all of it to misc wouldn't be that good either.

No idea how to get rid of those dependencies. Maybe we'll need to wait
until iio/accel is ready after all.

Well, I see no reason [1] why hp_accel couldn't live in
drivers/platform/x86 and select every piece it needs. This could be a
start.

[1] But I didn't try either. I guess I am missing something.
