1) are you working on sensors README/QUICKSTART/INSTALL updates or are you looking for volunteers? 2) i2c-virtual and pca954x are checked in but not in the Makefiles, pending i2c-core changes required. I can do the core changes before or after 2.9.0. Attached is the i2c-core patch, slimmed down from that received from Brian Kuschak. It's really only two changes: - creating xxx_nolock versions of some calls - working up the bus tree for busy checks, using i2c_virt_parent() Not sure I like the i2c_virt_parent() hack (see kernel/include/i2c-virtual.h in sensors for the definition) and trying to think of a better way to do it. Anyway, comments on the patch and on the timing (before or after 2.9.0) welcome. mds Jean Delvare wrote: > Hi all, > > I would like us to release i2c 2.9.0 (and obviously lm_sensors 2.9.0) > quite soon now.
