Hi Wolfram.

As far as I understand, all this seems correct to me.

You want to maintain the core files in drivers/i2c/
but not any files in any of algos/, busses/, or muxes/.

You might also want to specify which of the
include/linux/i2c-*.h files you actually want to oversee
as well. It seems some are driver specific.

But the git entry for the drivers seems maybe a bit of
an issue. Are you
intending to somehow pick up patches
approved by the i2c community? If
not, no worries I
guess, someone might come along to provide help.

cheers, Joe
