I understand the concern, but there could be scenarios device tree doesn't apply while some dynamic detection is still a valid requirement, not sure maybe I'm wrong from beginning. > This patch is bad anyway as it only changes the device name without > implementing proper support for the LM75B. This is only change we made just have our Intel C1516 board with LM75B sensor working anyway, while majority common features of LM75 just work. Regards Rain
