Better to submit this patch to LKML too, as it adds new directory. For accelerometer, few patches were submitted as "Industrial IO" framework from Jonathan Cameron. If you grep in LKML archive you will get the idea, also another place for accelerometer could be drivers/hwmon directory too if it fits in your driver requirements. --=20 ---Trilok Soni http://triloksoni.wordpress.com http://www.linkedin.com/in/triloksoni
