Yes, the point is that several people got interested in adding to the driver SPI and I=B2C support last time I submitted the driver. I did my best to concentrate the ACPI stuff only to some 3 or 4 small functions, so that it can be be easily done. >=20 > What are the next plans... lm_sensors is listed as orphan in > MAINTAINERS, so I guess I'll clean it up a tiny bit then submit to akpm? Yes I've hold things up because I can't get the free-fall detection working correctly on my laptop. However here is the merge window (not that it matters that much with new drivers), free-fall is "just" not always detected, and there are lots of people who have showed interest in the driver. Fixing the last small things can be done once in Linus' tree as well! I've got already a changelog ready. Give me a couple of days to clean things up and I'll send it to akpm myself :-) See you, Eric _______________________________________________ lm-sensors mailing list lm-sensors@lm-sensors.org http://lists.lm-sensors.org/mailman/listinfo/lm-sensors From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 Return-Path: Received: (majordomo@vger.kernel.org) by vger.kernel.org via listexpand id S1753406AbYJOHup (ORCPT ); Wed, 15 Oct 2008 03:50:45 -0400 Received: (majordomo@vger.kernel.org) by vger.kernel.org id S1752017AbYJOHui (ORCPT ); Wed, 15 Oct 2008 03:50:38 -0400 Received: from mailservice.tudelft.nl ([130.161.131.5]:6420 "EHLO mailservice.tudelft.nl" rhost-flags-OK-OK-OK-OK) by vger.kernel.org with ESMTP id S1751991AbYJOHuh (ORCPT ); Wed, 15 Oct 2008 03:50:37 -0400 X-Spam-Flag: NO X-Spam-Score: -9.389 Message-ID: <48F5A0C8.1080102@tremplin-utc.net> Date: Wed, 15 Oct 2008 09:50:32 +0200 From: Eric Piel User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.8.1.17) Gecko/20080929 Mandriva/2.0.0.17-2mdv2009.0 (2009.0) Thunderbird/2.0.0.17 Mnenhy/0.7.5.0 MIME-Version: 1.0 To: Pavel Machek Cc: lm-sensors@lm-sensors.org, kernel list , Thomas Renninger , Tejun Heo , Yan Burman Subject: Re: Accelerometer driver for HP laptops References: <48C984F5.5000804@tudelft.nl> <200809120736.06594.trenn@suse.de> <48CAD89F.1050806@tremplin-utc.net> <20081015072511.GA20607@atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz> In-Reply-To: <20081015072511.GA20607@atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Pavel Machek schreef: > Hi! > > I took a look at the driver, and it seems to work for me...

Yes, the point is that several people got interested in adding to the driver SPI and I²C support last time I submitted the driver.
