Huh - don't bite me!

This step I wanted to discuss next:
AFAICS I2C subsystem doesn't implement any sysFs-entry itself. They are
all either from client or device-driver system. I not even dared to ask
for a comment to this before adding the feature on i2c-dev, a way that
does not change the visible interface.
I can't wait too long for implementation on sysFs. I'm ready to do it
now, if we agree on the place where to create the entries, naming and
interface.
What is your time line?
Naming IMHO should be probe/remove, parameters could be
"<client-name>,<id>" / "<id>", just as done in i2c-dev implementation,
if created per adapter.
But where to place?
