Mark did more than this. He actually wrote the asb100 and i2c-sis96x
drivers, and also the i2c-stub, lm93, smsc47b397 and core hwmon
drivers. He has also been the hwmon subsystem maintainer for one year.

OTOH I do not remember significant contributions from him to the i2c
core.

I'll send a version 2 of the patch.
