Ideally the ISA driver would go to the trash can ;) and having both on separate directories doesn't strike me as being a problem. We have i2c-algo-bit-based drivers in many places and this has never been a problem. > And (in 80 years ;)) there might be just one I2C-maintainer taking care of them > all? Then, why the split? That's a more valid argument. But then again, MAINTAINERS can be edited again later as needed, with split entries getting merged or the other way around. What matters is that MAINTAINERS reflects the reality of who is doing what. > I am all for taking the embedded-burden away from you, just I am not too fond > of this idea. I'm not forcing anyone, and I would welcome alternative solutions. -- Jean Delvare
