Yes, great, and this one looks even better than v1 :-) However I'm not sure about the conversion between s8 and s16: > +static s16 lis3lv02d_read_8(acpi_handle handle, int reg) > +{ > + u8 lo; > + adev.read(handle, reg, &lo); > + return *((s8*)(&lo)); > +} Does it really extend the sign to 16 bits? I would have written it this way: +static s16 lis3lv02d_read_8(acpi_handle handle, int reg) +{ + s8 lo; + adev.read(handle, reg, &lo); + return (s16)lo; +} Doesn't it work better? Eric
