I took the original LM75 code and modified it for the LM87. I got it working for my purposes on my special hardware, but never really had the time to clean it up for submittal, or for that matter keep it up to date with the latest kernels. Anyway, thanks for cleaning it up and getting the first patch out there! I'll test it as soon as i get my hardware back.
