Hi Greg, Here comes the patch that fixes error paths in the it87 and via686a detection functions. The it87 part also adds missing error values. Please apply (on top of the big kmalloc patch), thanks. --- linux-2.6.5-mm3/drivers/i2c/chips/it87.c.orig Sat Apr 10 10:33:09 2004 +++ linux-2.6.5-mm3/drivers/i2c/chips/it87.c Sat Apr 10 16:19:46 2004 @@ -533,12 +533,12 @@ /* We need the timeouts for at least some IT87-like chips.
