It seemed like your major concern was using the out-of-tree
minion-mqueue driver or any other userspace i2c mechanism and I also
share that concern.
If you replace those references with an input subsystem driver, did you
have any other concerns? - thinking maybe we can work things out in
parallel a bit.
One last thought - do you have a use case for this? I've heard about an
OCP card providing similar function - wouldn't that use our existing
IPMI over IPMB design with backend handlers - possibly OEM? Trying to
fit that into what Jinu is working on seems like a stretch to me.
thoughts?
thx - brad
