This appears to be a very simple device, porting the driver shouldn't be too hard. That being said, it appears that the thmc50 driver isn't supported in sensors nor sensord. This suggests that it wasn't widely used, so the original driver might not be perfect. The libsensors support might also not be correct, if it was never tested. In fact, it might be quicker to start from a similar 2.6 driver (e.g. adm1021 or lm90) and to just update the names and registers. But it's up to you. > Who is a receiver of the 2.6 kernel patches for ported sensors > (this list or another list)? This list is right for such patches. Make sure you read Documentation/i2c/porting-clients and Documentation/hwmon/sysfs-interface. Oh, and Documentation/CodingStyle ;) -- Jean Delvare
