Hi,

I've written a driver for the Maxim MAX517/MAX518/MAX519 1/2-channel
DAC. See also the branch "max51x" of repository linux-2.6 at
git.antcom.de (alternatively the patch at
http://www.rolandstigge.de/dp/download/patches/max51x.patch).

It's currently located in drivers/misc/max51x.c, implemented similarly
to the other drivers like e.g. ti_dac7512.c. The hwmon maintainer
pointed me to drivers/staging/iio/.

Is it advisible now to port the driver to drivers/staging/iio or keep it
in drivers/misc? Where should I forward the code/patch for Linux
integration?

Thanks in advance!

Roland

It's best to convert to the iio subsystem, as that is the way to go in
the future.

As for where to send patches for it, send them here, and cc: the iio
developers and me and we will be glad to comment on them and apply them
to the kernel tree for submission to Linus's tree.

thanks,

Is it really a good idea to convert existing non-staging drivers to a

Yes.  A number of drivers have already been converted in this manner and
are merged in the tree that way.

thanks,
