Hi, well, I don't think this should go into staging at all as I think it's clean enough to go upstream directly (but I repeat I'm no IIC expert). So please resend to IIC people: I2C SUBSYSTEM M: "Jean Delvare (PC drivers, core)" <[email protected]> M: "Ben Dooks (embedded platforms)" <[email protected]> L: [email protected] but before that, move that out of staging to drivers/i2c/ (or anywhere where it make sense). It's perfectly OK to add functionality later (IRQs). regards, -- js _______________________________________________ devel mailing list [email protected] http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
