Hi,

No need to quote the whole message if you reply only to a bit of it.

He didn't write that code. It doesn't have a + at the beginning. He used
the whole driver as context, which is highly unusual. A context of 3
lines is usually good enough.

See above. He changed only 10 lines. Not enough for copyright IMO.

It came through to the i2c list? What was wrong?
