In my reading I failed to catch the how transient 'staging' is--I'll keep it mind, as I'm hoping my driver will not be so transient. >> I would be willing to work on the change as I want to submit a similar >> driver for the HMC6343 magnetometer/accelerometer as well. > > It would be great if it got added into the IIO subystem *as well*, and in > time when and if IIO goes out of staging it would then eventually replace > the existing drivers. This would then necessitate maintaining both chunks of code, so I think for now I will develop my module in drivers/misc. After it has stabilized, I can add both modules to IIO as well with this in mind.
