* Documentation
From Thierry's suggestion, detailed driver description was moved to
'Documentation/lp3943.txt'.

Really? Why here? Do we really want 1000's of driver docs in /Documentation?

There is no subdirectory for GPIO and PWM documents under 'Documentation'.
That's why I put LP3943 documentation here.

No other driver does this (intel gained from a glancing look).

I thought it's no issue because I still found few driver documentations in that location.
It sounds like people are moving those into other subdirectories.
Thanks for this information.

Well, perhaps the top-level Documentation directory isn't optimal, but I
think it's a lot better than the commit description. Perhaps an 'mfd'
subdirectory could be created where documentation such as this could be
put.

I agree Thierry.
If you don't mind, can I create a MFD subdirectory with this patch-set in next version, v4?
Any other ideas are welcome.

Best regards,
Milo
