Move the pcf8591 driver to hwmon 2009-03-30T19:46:43+00:00 Jean Delvare khali@linux-fr.org 2009-03-30T19:46:43+00:00 fb4504fe84b09cbf49fda19e6630a1003d79656a Directory drivers/i2c/chips is going away, so drivers there must find new homes. For the pcf8591 driver, the best choice seems to be the hwmon subsystem. While the Philips PCF8591 device isn't a typical hardware monitoring chip, its DAC interface is compatible with the hwmon one, so it fits somewhat. If a better subsystem is ever created for ADC/DAC chips, the driver could be moved there. Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org> Cc: Aurelien Jarno <aurelien@aurel32.net>
