Unfortunately, I seem to be bad at understanding the purpose of lm-sensors. :-) I'd like to get their approval before any work is done to migrate over to lm-sensors.

I can see that you tried to submit a driver for an accelerometer chip.
This indeed did not quite fit in the hwmon subsystem (although for
historical and unfortunate reasons we have a couple of them sitting
there at the moment... they should really go away!)

Temperature sensors definitely fit in the hwmon subsystem.

Humidity sensors... why not, we have already one.
