I really like the idea, and this is a possible future work; but now we can't. We have to suppose that the current driver work (they stopped to work because it was changed the i2c api) and because I can't test a change on all the apple hardware (powermac, apple laptop...), I am allowed to make only very small changes. My (our) first goal is to bring to life *this* driver. I repeat I am fully convinced that re-using the "official" i2c drive/client is the "right thing to do" (tm). But due to the lacking of the hardware where it is possible to test this module, we need to be very conservative. > > Guenter > Goffredo -- gpg @keyserver.linux.it: Goffredo Baroncelli (kreijackATinwind.it> Key fingerprint BBF5 1610 0B64 DAC6 5F7D 17B2 0EDA 9B37 8B82 E0B5 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
