No, it's a question of whether drivers/mfd is right. The "shovel everything that doesn't fit elsewhere into drivers/mfd" approach is just creating yet another problem, just like drivers/i2c/chips is percieved to be. The only difference is that it becomes someone elses problem. I've a good mind to put it in arch/arm/mach-pxa/ purely as a way of bringing this issue to a close - it's far from ideal having drivers outside of the drivers/ tree, but if that's the way it has to be to progress, so be it. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-i2c" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
