What about the Cisco copyright?  Has that author signed off on this?

And why a separate driver, can't you do this all from userspace as a
normal i2c driver?

You are creating sysfs files without the corrisponding
Documentation/ABI/ files, why?

and most important, what is a "ternary content addressable memory unit"
and what would you do with such a thing?
