I can't tell, I didn't even give his code a try :( If you have some spare time, try applying the proposed patches, see how they work for you and how you could use the new class in bmcsensors. However, as I understand it, the hwmon class will be added to the drivers, it isn't meant to replace anything. This will simply let us search for hwmon stuff by class rather than assuming that all hwmon drivers are devices on i2c busses, so it's more like a helper for user-space tools. I don't think it solves the hwmon-is-not-i2c issue on the kernel side at all. -- Jean Delvare From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: khali@linux-fr.org (Jean Delvare) Date: Sun, 22 May 2005 15:39:56 +0000 Subject: [lm-sensors] [PATCH 2.6.12-rc4 15/15] Message-Id: <20050522153945.04690929.khali@linux-fr.org> List-Id: References: <20050519213551.GA806@kroah.com> <200505212058.14851.dtor_core@ameritech.net> <20050522085026.40e73d49.khali@linux-fr.org> <200505220204.52907.dtor_core@ameritech.net> <25381867050522051524ea93ec@mail.gmail.com> <20050522143244.3648427a.khali@linux-fr.org> <25381867050522060561a288c@mail.gmail.com> In-Reply-To: <25381867050522060561a288c@mail.gmail.com> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: Yani Ioannou Cc: Greg KH , Dmitry Torokhov , LKML , LM Sensors Hi Yani, > And i2c-ipmi remember? :) Does that mean Mark's class is finalized and > I can work with it?
