So having libsensors Is there a good reason why we couldn't rename the "isa" bus to "platform", then? It is far more correct to call every hwmon ISA device a platform device, than to call every platform device an ISA device :p > a problem.

It is just cosmetics, indeed. But still, it is the right time to ask about it. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them. One disk to bring them all and in the darkness grind them.
