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, -- Jean Delvare
