Support of AMD-8111 for lm_sensors

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



your patch looks good and I'm going to check it in now.
I'm going to add some text to the docs to say that each driver supports
one of the two interfaces on the chip.

The i2c-8111 driver busy waits with udelay(). This shouldn't be
necessary.
Would you please change to an interruptible call (see the other drivers
for examples) and send me a patch against the patch below.

thanks
