Please let me know. Hi Chris, No harm is submitting a patch for a hwmon-based driver against mainline 2.6.32-rc6 to LKML (cc the requisite maintainers). It might help get review on obvious issues, if any. But be prepared to modify the driver to use IIO. I just modified a driver to use IIO and isn't that hard - probably an afternoon's work.
