(hence real issue with overlapping work). I do wonder if it is worth adding a mailing list entry to the driver MAINTAINERS entry (unless lm-sensors is where you do want anything relevant to be discussed?). Problem here is this evolved in a thread not initially related to your driver and hence I guess no one noticed you weren't cc'd when it became relevant. Jonathan p.s. Kalhan, btw, just noticed a typo in the patch message : Macroelectronics->Microelectronics. _______________________________________________ lm-sensors mailing list lm-sensors@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.lm-sensors.org/mailman/listinfo/lm-sensors
