Hi Jean-Marc, Your patch looks good to me with a few niggles: > To: > LKML <linux-kernel at vger.kernel.org>, "LM Sensors" > <lm-sensors at lm-sensors.org> I don't know if it's necessary/recommended to submit directly to LKML in addition to the lm-sensors list. (Maybe somebody else can comment on that.) > The goal of this patch is to allow it87.c to handle IT8720 chipset > like IT8718 in order to retreive voltage, temperatures and fans speed > from sensors tools. > > JMS > > Patch also attached. Good description but the "Patch also attached" is superfluous; your [PATCH] subject line already says that. I believe these comments are copied verbatim into the kernel git changelog, so it's important to keep them succinct. More importantly, you need to sign your patch with: Signed-off-by: [your real name] [your email address] --- > --- linux-2.6.27-rc8/drivers/hwmon/it87.c.orig 2008-10-02 > 09:04:44.000000000 -0400 > +++ linux-2.6.27-rc8/drivers/hwmon/it87.c 2008-10-06 > 13:27:08.000000000 -0400 Please make sure your mailer is not wrapping lines, it looks here like it is.
