Hi all, I just finished updating my installation guide to support the new 2.4.22 kernel. I noticed that new I2C drivers exist there: i2c-sibyte (plus i2c-algo-sibyte) and i2c-max1617. Why they end up there without us even hearing about it is a complete mystery to me. The max1617 driver is crappy (polling + working only with the sibyte bus) and completely useless since we already support that chip for years. The bus driver probably should have been built into a single module. And none of these modules will even compile since they use I2C IDs that are not defined. My 2.4.22 patch simply wipe them out. I can't understand how they were accepted into the main kernel tree. I couldn't find anything related to them in the kernel changelog nor in LKML archives. I feel like we should complain about that, but unfortunately I don't have time for that right now. Greg, you have more contact with the kernel people than any of us here, do you have any information we don't have? I am taking a new (well...) job tomorrow. At last :) I'm more than pleased, but you have to understand that this also means the end of my active participation to the LM Sensors project. Don't worry, I won't leave the project completely and within a few months I hope I'll have some time left again to contribute. But I won't spend 6 hours a day on it as it has been the case for the last few months. BTW, I'd like to thank you all very much for that. I've learned much here, and it also prevented me from falling into the laziness :) See you later. -- Jean Delvare http://www.ensicaen.ismra.fr/~delvare/
