In an ideal world, people interested in accelerometers would create a subsystem for it, declare themselves maintainers of it, and all accelerometer drivers which currently leave under drivers/hwmon (hdaps, hp_accel, lis3lv02d and maybe ams) would be moved there. The current state is very bad, because these drivers are located in a maintained subsystem but they don't belong there. This is what motivated my request to move these drivers away [1]. But as you can see nobody replied. [1] http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-input/msg11411.html -- Jean Delvare
