Hi Pavel,
Just to say I like this approach. It should be completely compatible 
with the idea of allowing different buses (SPI and I²C) as well. Of 
course, I wish it could be possible to have the led and accelerometer 
drivers separated because they have no common point but the fact that 
they are advertised by the same PNP ID. But I can deal with that.

Andrew, is there anything preventing the merge of the lis3lv02d driver 
from your tree to Linus' one? I think it's still worth to integrate it 
as is, and later on this refactoring can take place.

See you,
Eric
