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
