The light sensor drivers can live wherever you want and use whatever interface you want, I don't give a damn. What I really want is that: 1* All light sensor drivers live at the same place in the kernel tree, so that people looking for them know where to look. 2* drivers/i2c/chips dies. Meaning that, if the tsl2550 driver has not moved away from drivers/i2c/chips by rc1, I'll move it myself, manu militari, to drivers/misc. I am a little sad to see two discussions about the ALS subsystem right in the middle of the merge window, one about what the interface should be and one about what the subsystem should include, while discussions about these two points have been ongoing publicly for 5 months now. I really want things (whatever they are) happen now and not in another 5 months. -- Jean Delvare
