| |
Hi,
I wrote a driver for an I2C connected ambient light sensor and submitted it to the linux-i2c list[1]. In the first place, I wasn't aware of drivers/i2c/chips being deprecated and hencei, I subsequently moved it to what seemed to match best in the current tree, drivers/hwmon. But as Jean Delvare pointed out, this is not the place for it either because it doesn't really monitor the hardware, which is true.
So I posted a proposal[2] patch series that adds drivers/sensors for such cases (some of the drivers in the legacy folder drivers/i2c/chips have the same problem than my new one has) but haven't got reply on it yet, probably because linux-i2c is the wrong place to ask.
Maybe someone here has an oppinon about that?
Thanks, Daniel
