If you want to compare: http://www.ieap.uni-kiel.de/surface/ag-berndt/lehre/fpmc/ns/lm75.pdf http://natisbad.org/NAS4/refs/GMT_G751.pdf >>> Please use the lm75 driver and add the g751 parameters to it. >> >> I will test if the driver does indeed work as expected to drive the G751 >> and will send a patch to document compatibility w/ GMT G751 (Kconfig, >> i2c_device_id struct and lm75_detect function).

If your hardware > can sleep (which may be somewhat unlikely for a NAS), lm75 driver does have #ifdef CONFIG_PM (or am I missing something?), but you are right, I don't think the NAS can take advantage of it ATM. I just finished the a first version of a patch for lm75 to reference g751. I'll send it in a separate email. Anyway, thanks for the quick feedback.
