Dear,
I want to integrate MCP45HV51 I2C device to Linux kernel. It is a 
digital potentiometer.
I have several questions:
- Is "leds driver" the correct section ?
- On which existing I2C leds driver should I base my code to use the 
most recent API/pratice ?
- Maybe it is not needed to write a C driver and everything can be done 
via devicetree ?

Thank you for your help.
Best regards,
Gaëtan.
