Right, your typical Qualcomm platform has a dedicated sensor subsystem,
with some CPU core with dedicated I2C controllers and GPIOs for
processing sensor input while the rest of the SoC is in deep sleep.
Combined with the virtio-i2c effort this could provide an alternative by
simply tunneling the busses and GPIOs into Linux and use standard iio
drivers, for cases where this suits your product requirements better.
And I've seen similar interest from others in the community as well.
