Hi everyone, I will add support to LM83 to lm_sensors, as per request from ZOleg Matrix <zoleg at matrixc.ru>. This is perfectly what I need to start with real driver coding. My question now. The LM83 could be supported by the ADM1021 module, which already supports ADM1021, ADM1023, MAX1617, MAX1617A, NE1617, NE1617A, TMC10, MC1066 and LM84. The LM84 can easily be seen as a light version of the LM83. However, I think I remember we decided to avoid adding support for new devices to existing drivers. Or is is just true for the w83781d? I see three possibilities: 1* A new driver for the LM83. 2* Support for LM83 added to adm1021 3* A new driver for the LM83 and move LM84 support to this new driver (or any other support combination that would make as much sense as possible. I did not take a look at the code yet (just read LM83 and LM84 datasheets (very great BTW) and adm1021 and such detection routine in sensors-detect) so I can't say what is technically the best choice. However, I suppose that any solution will be easy, so the choice is mainly a philosophical one, so to say. So, what should we do? -- Jean Delvare http://www.ensicaen.ismra.fr/~delvare/
