For now it is staging in my tree: http://khali.linux-fr.org/devel/linux-2.6/jdelvare-i2c/ Meaning that it is also available in -mm. Also note that David Brownell submitted a new-style driver for the PCF8575, which will probably make it into 2.6.25 as well. For now I'm fine having two drivers as they offer different interfaces, but in the long run we'll try to merge them. -- Jean Delvare
