 Nice work!
 
 Is there any How-to-write-drivers-for-I2C-devices-connected-to-FR guide?
Putting exactly your sentence How to write drivers for I2C devices
into your favourite search engine gives a lot of results which looks
like your answer:
http://www.mjmwired.net/kernel/Documentation/i2c/writing-clients

P.S. Should't this go to de...@lists.openmoko.org or
supp...@lists.openmoko.org ?

 I'd say for most uses!

 After attempting to use a bmp085 as a temperature sensor for my skiwax 
 program (http://jeepingben.homelinux.net/wax/) and not getting good 
 results (at least partially due to thermal leakage through the i2c 
 wires), I added a mlx90614 to my freerunner.  It is an infrared 
 thermometer with a temperature range of -70C to 380C.  It reacts quickly 
 to changes in temperature and sort of fits in the freerunner case. 
 Installation is similar to the Freerunner Navigation Board install. 
 Christoph Mair has written a kernel module for it.  The module is on 
 gitorious, but is not yet available upstream.

What can I say, Kudos to you and other hardware hackers :)
