Subject: Accelerometer drivers in drivers/hwmon
Date: Sat, 25 Sep 2010 13:23:30 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100925132330.4ee5e6a7@endymion.delvare> (raw)
Hi Dmitry,
I would like to kick the following 5 drivers out of drivers/hwmon: ams,
hdaps, hp_accel, lis3lv02d and applesmc. These are primarily
accelerometer devices, so the drivers do not belong to hwmon.
ams, hdaps, hp_accel and lis3lv02d don't even register a hwmon device.
They are pure accelerometer drivers as far as I can see. Would you take
them in drivers/input/misc?
applesmc is more complex, it's a multifunction device. Maybe it would
better go to drivers/macintosh, where the other thermal management
drivers for mac machines live.
If you don't want hdaps and hp_accel, they might also fit under
drivers/platform/x86. There are quite a few laptop-specific drivers
living there already.
If nobody wants these drivers, drivers/misc is yet another option. I'm
open to suggestions. Virtually anything which moves these drivers
outside of drivers/hwmon will make me happy.
Thanks,
