we should get anything out of drivers/i2c/chips since Jean wanna get rid
of that directory. So if you apply the patches I wrote to lp5521 I'm
fixing a few stuff and moving that driver to drivers/leds. After that I
could send that driver to Richard.

I'd also say the old 770 drivers should be kicked out as patches (on
muru.com??) and remerged via the proper subsystem maintainers.

n8x0 are still too "new" to do that, but we should get some more effort
in merging those drivers upstream. If anyone wanna help, that would be
really appreciated. I'll try to do what I can with my small spare time.
