Hrm, while sysfs details can change across kernel versions, usually due to driver core changes, we try to keep them as consistent as possible so as not to break userspace. That said, if we are going to try and come up with a better model for representing an accelerometer, wouldn't treating it as an IIO device be the more logical approach? -- Darren Hart Intel Open Source Technology Center -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
