Light sensors have nothing to do with hardware monitoring. I think we need a new subsystem for light sensors. drivers/light maybe? Or maybe this fits into Jonathan Cameron's industrial I/O subsystem. Jonathan, what do you think? If not, maybe a more general subsystem for various sensor types (light, pressure, noise, whatever.) Me, I don't really care where these drivers go as long as it's not in drivers/i2c/chips. -- Jean Delvare
