Currently the driver does not call request_region() prior to
accessing IO port regions in f71805f_init(), so add it.

Hi Guenter,
request_muxed_region() would be a better choice here since it doesn't
bail out immediately if the region is temporarily busy.
Are you saying that this region could be busy due to another driver
accessing this same region (probably for the same purpose)?
Hi Guenter,
Depends on the definition of "same reason". To access the chip's
Super-IO configuration registers, yes, that can happen. I don't
see it used in the kernel today, but examples would be someone
adding support for the chips supported by this driver to gpio-f7188x,
or adding support for the F71872 watchdog to the f71808e_wdt driver.
OK, understood.
In terms of fixing these up, as mentioned @ https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-pci/msg49843.html, there are other modules which have this issue. I asked Kefang today, and here's his list:
f71805f.ko
f71882fg.ko
pc87427.ko
sch56xx-common.ko
smsc47b397.ko
smsc47m1.ko
So maybe it's better to send separate patch(sets) for 1/2 and 2/2+other hwmon fixes - let me know your preference.
One patch per file, please.
Thanks,
Guenter
