Hi all, I received a report that my detection code for the Maxim MAX6657, MAX6658 and MAX6659 temperature monitoring chipsets in the i2c/chips/lm90 driver wouldn't work as intended. I have a patch ready that should fix the problem. However, I was only able to test it on one sample of the MAX6659, and am not certain that the MAX6657 and MAX6658 would behave exactly the same. For this reason, I am looking for testers. I would appreciate if users of the lm90 driver with Maxim chips would give a try to the patch below and report success of failure. The patch is also available for a limited duration at the following address: http://khali.linux-fr.org/devel/i2c/linux-2.6/linux-2.6.10-rc3-i2c-max6657-detection.diff Thanks. --- linux-2.6.10-rc3/drivers/i2c/chips/lm90.c.orig 2004-12-05 17:33:04.000000000 +0100 +++ linux-2.6.10-rc3/drivers/i2c/chips/lm90.c 2004-12-12 16:28:42.000000000 +0100 @@ -35,12 +35,13 @@ * Among others, it has a higher accuracy than the LM90, much like the * LM86 does. * - * This driver also supports the MAX6657 and MAX6658, sensor chips made - * by Maxim.
