I see three tasks here:
  - Andriy finishes his change, moving things from smbus to iicbus, adding s=
ome workaround to keep the user experience like it is
  - Someone else implements the device table mechanism for auto detection
  - Someone else ports HDI over I2C to allow implementing drivers for device=
s like the elan touchpad Matthias is referring to

Makes sense?
