As long as it doesn't cause extra problems, I believe the drivers should be kept as simple and "neutral" as possible. If certain drivers really have to intialize limits for any reason, it's OK, but I don't object against the default policy being to not initialize. (Which doesn't mean I'll rush to remove initializations in "my" drivers".) > We don't know in what crazy way a motherboard manufacturer may have > wired or scaled the inputs and with the newer sensors, it's leading to > shutdowns and fan spinup behavior that is "less than optimal". In this precise case, the reason is not initializing, but initializing with awful values. That's different. -- Jean Delvare http://www.ensicaen.ismra.fr/~delvare/
