Re: [PATCH] bma023: Support for Bosch BMA023, BMA150 and SMB380 accelerometers

However, note that Dmitry has previously blocked merges of drivers into input
precisely because these sysfs interfaces haven't been defined cleanly (in that
case the relevant bits were just dropped from the driver in favour of platform
data). He wants to see something general across all such sensors whatever
subsystem they are actually in.

Ultimately there is a lot to be said for a common interface, but as you
yourself point out - there isn't actually anything for it to be common
with. In this case some of the user interface side is needed at runtime
so platform interfaces (or hiding ioctls in platform code to hide it from
you ;) ) doesn't help much.

It's up to Dmitry, it would be nice to have it upstream but if it ends up
only in Meego until IIO is stabilised and out of staging then thats less
ideal.
