Both are acceptable. Best choice depends on how intrusive it is to add support to the lm90 driver. I suspect there won't be too much to add? I would recommend trying it, and if we finally decide it's too intrusive, copy the lm90 driver to a new one and clean up them both. -- Jean Delvare _______________________________________________ lm-sensors mailing list lm-sensors@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.lm-sensors.org/mailman/listinfo/lm-sensors
