To whom it may concern, I am trying to submit a patch for driver Driver for Nuvoton NCT6687D eSIO chip under drivers/hwmon. This driver is confirmed to be working for motherboards series B550 and B650. Credits for creating this driver should go to Frederic BOLTZ https://github.com/Fred78290/nct6687d Attached is my patch
This is not the way to submit patches into the Linux kernel. Anyway, this is pretty much just taking the existing nct6683 driver, extending it with an additional ID for NCT6687 (0xd451), removing customer ID checks, and claiming new authorship. No, this is not how kernel development works. If those motherboards use an NCT6687 with ID 0xd451, or if the boards use a new customer ID, submit patches updating the existing driver. If there are other changes improving the existing driver, submit patches for it. I am not going to accept a second driver for the same chip. Guenter
