The code was originally based on the similar SuperIO detection in w83627hf.c and this doesn't seem to have changed much in 2.6. Not sure about the style, or that this is the correct way to do things, but at least it's the way it has been done before ;-) There were some concerns about detecting the IT8712F since it has a non-standard config mode exit sequence. Theoretically we risk putting another SuperIO chip in config mode. Therefore, just in case, the "standard" exit command has been added to superio_exit(). This does not seem to matter to the IT8712F. The code as it is has been in the lm_sensors package for some time. Bj?rn -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
