    1818=== Step 1: Cleaning up {{{i2c-dev.h}}} === 
    1919 
    20 We need to get rid of the {{{i2c-dev.h}}} file in i2c-tools, and before we can do that, this copy should be aligned with the one in the kernel. This means that anything extra must be moved somewhere else. Then all applications must be adjusted to include the right header files. Later, we can just remove {{{i2c-dev.h}}} file in i2c-tools and the kernel version of the file will be used instead.

    2424Discussion: Do we create a header file that includes all other often-needed header files, to make the migration easier? 
    … …  
    2828All the {{{i2c_smbus_*}}} inline functions should be moved to a proper shared library. 
    2929 
    30 Status: Name decided ([http://marc.info/?l=linux-i2c&m=133356140412722&w=2 libi2c]). No code yet.

     32Discussion: What license do we use? GPLv2+ as the kernel itself, or LGPLv2.1+ which would seem more appropriate for a library? 
    3133 
    3234=== Step 3: Extending the library === 
    … …  
    3436More functions may be added to the library, for example the ones currently in {{{tools/i2cbusses.c}}}.

    36 Status: Not started. 
     38Status: Code moved from {{{tools/i2cbusses.c}}} to {{{lib/busses.c}}}, functions renamed to meet a reasonable naming convention. Needs self-review.
