Groan! :) Who will be the subsystem maintainer and is there already a public git tree? > I'll take a close look at this sometime over the next few days though.

I've got no problem merging the tsl2563 with 2561. I don't have any 2561 hardware to check a merged driver though. Do you think the ALS framework will be finalised before the 2.6.33 merge window (in a few weeks)? If not, I wonder if Greg would take this driver to staging to begin with and I'll modify it to use the ALS subsystem when it settles down.
