LM85 problems with 2.6.16.x - 2.6.19.1

[Holger.Kiehl at dwd.de (Holger Kiehl)]

Hello

I am using a Tyan S4882 motherboard with 4 CPU's that has a LM85 sensor chip
which reports the following message during boot:

     .
     .
     ipmi device interface
     Enabling SMBus multiplexing for Tyan S4882
     lm85 0-002e: Client (0,0x2e) config is locked.
     lm85 0-002e: Client (0,0x2e) is not ready.
     lm85 0-002e: Client (0,0x2e) VxI mode is set. Please report this to the lm85 maintainer.

Looking at /var/log/messages I also can see multiple entries of:

     i2c_adapter i2c-0: SMBus collision!
          OR
     i2c_adapter i2c-1: SMBus collision!
          OR
     i2c_adapter i2c-2: SMBus collision!
           OR
     i2c_adapter i2c-3: SMBus collision!
           OR
     i2c_adapter i2c-4: SMBus collision!

This happens with lm_sensors 2.9.2 and 2.10.1 and plain kernel.org kernels
2.6.16.x to 2.6.19.1.

Any idea what is causing this and what I can do to remove the problem?

Thanks,
Holger
