Details

Description:
Please add new kernel config flag CONFIG_BMP280, which incorporates pressure sensors bmp085, bmp180 and bmp280. In previous kernels (to 4.8) there was flag CONFIG_BMP085, which is not accesible and the appropriate driver is not compiled.

Additional info:
* package version(s)
core/linux 4.10.6-1-ARCH

On ArchlinuxARM is the module already compiled.

armv6l (Linux linux 4.9.16-1-ARCH #1 SMP Sun Mar 19 20:16:01 UTC 2017 armv6l GNU/Linux):
zcat /proc/config.gz | grep -i bmp280
CONFIG_BMP280=m
CONFIG_BMP280_I2C=m
CONFIG_BMP280_SPI=m


i586 (Linux linux 4.10.6-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Mar 27 08:48:47 CEST 2017 i586 GNU/Linux):
zcat /proc/config.gz | grep -i bmp280
# CONFIG_BMP280 is not set

Side note, where the hell is there an i586 version of Arch?

It's standard i686 kernel running on i586 (AMD Geode).


On my i686 is the same kernel:
Linux linux 4.10.6-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Mar 27 08:48:47 CEST 2017 i686 GNU/Linux

Logical, the same problem is here - no modules for BMP280.

I don't see how this is useful on x86_64, since I guess it requires an i2c/spi port which is not common on normal laptop/desktops?

Implemented in linux 4.15-1 by [1].
