sensors in 2.5.54!!!

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

 



great news.

The patch for i2c-amd756, i2c-amd8111, adm1021, and lm75,
submitted by Pavel Machek, has been included,
with modifications, in kernel 2.5.54 by Cristoph Hellwig.
As you can see from the patch notes below, there were
several modifications to the drivers and to the i2c core.

Any volunteers to work with Cristoph to feed more drivers in?
Pavel?

Note that we'll have to go through the changes he made,
figure them out, backport them into CVS, and apply
to the other drivers.

This will be somewhat easier after we remove 2.2 support.
But there are still several 2.4<->2.5 differences which
we will have to keep out of CVS, or at least #ifdef,
and the patcher will have to deal with those.

Also note that the drivers went into i2c/busses and i2c/chips,
so I think that solves that debate. I'll update our
makefiles and mkpatch to put them there and remove
old modules in i2c/ and sensors/ .
