Hi Mike,

I want to add some I2C device drivers to my tree and I was wondering where the correct place to put them would be so any patches I make in future would be accepted.
I was thinking drivers/i2c (which does not exist) is that ok? I have the Philips 2005-1 I2C demo board and I wanted to add support for some of the devices on there which could possibly be on future devices to control LED's or power or whatever. I am thinking about eventually building a board around the AVR32 processor and I may use one or 2 of these devices, so they would not be added to the tree for no reason (and surly someone else out there uses I2C devices other then RTC's on their boards).
I would also like to eventually add support for the Atmel board controller on the NGW100 as soon as I figure out how it works. :)
So basically where is the best place to put a load of I2C drivers?
I would suggest to borrow again from the Linux kernel here and put the bus drivers (like ppc4xx-i2c or mpc8xx-i2c) into:
drivers/i2c/busses/*
and put the device drivers (like your Philips I2C I/O expander device) into:
drivers/i2c/chips/*
Any other suggestions?
Best regards, Stefan
