The i2c-i801 kernel driver (for SMBus controller on most x86 Intel systems) has a lot of pending upstream patches from various contributors. There are bug fixes, clean-ups and new features. Without proper reviewing and merging work, most of the effort is likely to be lost.

So my project is to collect all contributions, review them, test as much as I can on the hardware I have, resolve all conflicts and submit a large single patch series upstream.
