Support of AMD-8111 for lm_sensors

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

 



If you want to do actually use interrupts you can, but most drivers
don't.
See amd756_do_pause() for an example of the easy way...

Also, I checked in the patch to mkpatch/FILES, but for full mkpatch
support there is more to be done, see the bottom of
doc/developers/new_drivers
for details. If you would do that too I would be most appreciative...

thanks
