Hi Greg, Here is a patch to Documentation/i2c/sysfs-interface. This is mostly my intent to make the document more readable. There are also a few incorrectnesses fixed, and some comments added. Apply if you like it, thanks. --- linux-2.6.5-rc2/Documentation/i2c/sysfs-interface.orig Mon Mar 29 20:45:59 2004 +++ linux-2.6.5-rc2/Documentation/i2c/sysfs-interface Tue Mar 30 20:14:38 2004 @@ -74,18 +74,15 @@ ************ in[0-8]_min Voltage min value. - Fixed point value in form XXXX.
