How to support 2.6.9 kernel with w83792d driver

Hi Rudolf,
Nice to see you again, I think you have gone back to your hometown these
days, so I did not resend that mail ;)

I have one question to ask you,(I have so many questions ...)

We just received a request from our customer ASUS and they would like to
use 792D lm-sensor driver on Redhat Enterprise Edition Workstation
Update 2 with kernel 2.6.9. The original 792D driver Chunhao implemented
did work on 2.6.10 kernel but it quitted working on 2.6.9 (the one
Redhat uses for Enterprise edition). I made some tiny modification to
original driver and it works now.

My question is that should we send this patch to you? As far as I know,
there are some changes in lm-sensor architecture as of 2.6.14 kernel.
The patch should be applied to the ORIGINAL source Chunhao submitted
instead of the newest one. What's your opinion on this issue? Many of
ASUS customers might use Redhat Enterprise edition instead of free
Fedora core so that it would be a good idea if we can figure out this
before the real problem comes.


Best Regards
Yuan Mu
