I've got a question regarding AMD Phenom II Family 16h.
... the driver officially only supports up to family 15h as far
as I can see. Did you patch it, or does it just work ?
The driver supports PCI devices (north bridge) not CPU families. Just
as family 12h and 14h north bridges have the same PCI device ID, I can
only guess that family 15h and 16h north bridges have the same PCI
device ID. If this is confirmed, we can update the driver documentation
accordingly. Andre, Clemens, any comment on this?
In fact the northbridges are quite different, only the temperature
reporting part has been kept the same. So for the purpose of this driver
(and only in this case) we can handle the northbridges as if they were
compatible. But in fact the PCI-IDs changed, so we have to list them
(and add them if new CPUs are released). But yes, Llano and Brazos
(Fam12h and Fam14h) share the same northbridge, hence the same PCI-ID.

Andre.
Phenom IIs are always Family 10h.
I'd guess this is decimal/hex confusion and not a super-secret new CPU.
That is true. I await more of this confusion when Fam 15h (aka
Bulldozer) hits the market, since people may mix it up with family 15
(0Fh) aka K8 ;-)
Regards,
Andre.
