Firstly that would make emailing lm-sensors more sensible than linux-input but what the heck, some of us read both.

Gah, Not again! So far we have had two patch sets implementing just this. Looking at the latest from Samu, Eric's patch has been sent on to Andrew Morton for the current merge window (and is listed as being in his mm tree). May even have merged since I last pulled mainline. You have my sympathies as the whole duplicating work thing happens to us all from time to time. The answer is as ever, post early and post often to the relevant mailing lists. (though of course hardly anyone actually keeps to this!) I've cc'd in everyone I know has an interest in this driver for any thing else they might want to add.
