Apparently sensors-detect is wrong about 792d. What I really have is a w83791sd (determined by inspection). BTW, there's really no point to implementing I2C_FUNC_SMBUS_BLOCK_DATA in the new i801 driver as i2c_smbus_[read|write]_block_data() were yanked out of i2c-core anyway. And that reminds me: you probably shouldn't speak too loudly about any other parts (shhhh... PEC, SMBus 2.0) that have no current users, as the bloat police might show up and rip them out too. ;) Regards, -- Mark M. Hoffman mhoffman at lightlink.com
