Hi Jean, MDS I have two questions about W83792D driver: (1) When I write the 792 driver for linux-2.4, I find that there is such member "struct i2c_client *lm75" in struct w83781d_data. I'm not familiar with it, I delete it and all the related codes in 792 driver, it seems 792 driver for 2.4 can work well. Now when I refer to the w83781d.c for linux-2.6, I see it again. Could you give me some introduction about it? Can I delete it and the function "w83781d_detect_subclients()"? (2) In my 792 driver for inux-2.4, the measured "temp" value is always wrong. I usually get the value "" > -----Original Message----- > From: Jean Delvare [mailto:khali at linux-fr.org] > Sent: 2005??2??4?? 19:55 > To: PI14 HUANG0 > Cc: PI10 LHHsu; PI14 DZSHEN; LM Sensors > Subject: RE: We will port w83792d.c to linux-2.6 > > > Hi Chunhao, > > > Provided that I have successfully ported w83792d.c from linux-2.4 to 2.6, > > How should I add it into the linux kernel tree linux-2.6.10 for test? > > I have tried the following steps: > > (1)Add a file w83792d.c into the directory > > /usr/src/linux-2.6.10/drivers/i2c/chips/ > > Correct. > > > (2) modify /usr/src/linux-2.6.10/drivers/i2c/chips/Makefile (add 792 part) > > Correct again. > > > (3) modify /usr/src/linux-2.6.10/.config (add 792 part) > > Not correct.
