You don't have to do anything, drivers for this already exist. The lm73 driver isn't upstream yet, but it will be in a few days. For now you can pick the patch from there: ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/jdelvare/linux-2.6/jdelvare-hwmon/hwmon-lm73-new-driver.patch After patching your kernel tree, simply load the i2c-imx and lm73 drivers. Then either declare the lm73 device as part of your platform data, or instantiate it from user-space using the /sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-<n>/new_device file, where <n> is to be replaced with the relevant i2c-imx's bus number (probably 0, if you have a single I2C bus on your system.) And you should be done. -- Jean Delvare http://khali.linux-fr.org/wishlist.html _______________________________________________ lm-sensors mailing list lm-sensors@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.lm-sensors.org/mailman/listinfo/lm-sensors
