patch "Revert "hwmon: (lm80) fix a missing check of bus read in lm80 probe"" added to char-misc-linus

[gregkh]

This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled

    Revert "hwmon: (lm80) fix a missing check of bus read in lm80 probe"

to my char-misc git tree which can be found at
    git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/char-misc.git
in the char-misc-linus branch.

The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree
(usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)

The patch will hopefully also be merged in Linus's tree for the
next -rc kernel release.

If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

Subject: Revert "hwmon: (lm80) fix a missing check of bus read in lm80 probe"

This reverts commit 9aa3aa15f4c2f74f47afd6c5db4b420fadf3f315.

Because of recent interactions with developers from @umn.edu, all
commits from them have been recently re-reviewed to ensure if they were
correct or not.

Upon review, it was determined that this commit is not needed at all so
just revert it.  Also, the call to lm80_init_client() was not properly
handled, so if error handling is needed in the lm80_probe() function,
then it should be done properly, not half-baked like the commit being
reverted here did.
