Hi everyone: Here's another attempt. It's pretty trivial given Greg's suggestions. There is still the question of what to use for class device ID string. We could resurrect each chip's ID number (that was incremented but never used) to make names like lm78-0, lm78-1, etc. But, the uniqueness requirement isn't completely guaranteed that way. E.g. two different modules might name a class device w83627hf-0. Suggestions? (The patch still uses the guaranteed unique bus ID for now.) Regards, -- Mark M. Hoffman mhoffman at lightlink.com
