If you use i2c-proc primitives and add libsensors support then it's easier for the applications like 'sensors'. Not sure if you can use i2c-proc without having a pseudo-adapter defined. A single module could both register an 'i2c-smart' pseudo-adapter and the sensors themselves, showing up in /proc as harddrive-smart-1 or something similar. But you don't want chip drivers scanning pseudo-adapters looking for chips when they aren't compatible with that bus... phil at netroedge.com wrote: > > Actually, it's probably less intrusive to provide that merging of data > at the application level (sensors)?
