IMO OSS frontends that are in the official kernel source should use the official kernel facilities though.why are only closed-source driver writers free to use an elegant and easy-to-use API? why should we stuck to an useless API just because it is "OFFICIAL"?!? my definition of freedom is that everybody is free to choose the simplest and technically most elegant way. All this p.c.-conformity and obedience makes me just sick. Let's end this thread, everybody is free to write as elegant code as he likes.
OK fair enough, _BUT WE STILL HAVE TO FIX THE PROBLEM_.IMHO using kernel i2c is the right thing to do.
I've read your proposal, and yeah, it makes sense, is simple, and easily doable. I've submitted my proposals, which I believe are likewise. Neither of them involves any large code changes.
I don't really mind either way myself (although naturally I lean slightly towards my suggestion). I'm only concerned that _something_ is done.I'm sorry that I couldn't follow the current discussion closely, I was on a business trip.
We need to decide which to do. How?
