 Hi Klaus,

I've got two questions with regards to this new devices:

1) The file lacks a license statement (and a short comment at the beginning 
what it is all about). Could you maybe provide a follow up patch with a 
proper header comment that includes a license and a short description about 
the device?

2) Why is it in hw/misc/ and not in hw/i2c/ ?

I think we should also have a proper Kconfig switch for this device, so we 
can disable it with --without-default-devices, what do you think?
