Some brief googling finds a bunch of old (2012) patches for an si114x driver in drivers/iio/light. Here's the link to the old thread: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.iio/5478 I did not find any reference to si114x in the main kernel tree so it seems to me that it was never actually included. There are a bunch of other out-of-tree drivers I found searching the web but they don't seem to be IIO drivers so are not interesting. I'm willing to do the work to get support for this in upstream. I guess the best way to do that would be to apply the most recent source I can find to my local tree, test it on my device and repost on the list for review, right? I can't find anything newer than 2012 though. As far as I can tell there at are two sets of device models: Si1141/42/43 and 45/46/47 with similar datasheets: https://www.silabs.com/Support%20Documents/TechnicalDocs/Si114x.pdf https://www.silabs.com/Support%20Documents/TechnicalDocs/Si1145-46-47.pdf I only have a Si1145 device so I can't test support for si1141/42/43. -- Regards, Leonard
