The W83627UHG is clearly on the side of the W83627DHG. The decision of splitting NCT677[56] support to a separate driver is unrelated IMHO. The rationale is that the w83627ehf driver code has become quite complex (it's the 3rd hwmon driver by size out of 117!) and a lot of the code recently added only applies to the NCT677[56]. If future devices are almost compatible with the NCT677[56] but not quite, things will only become worse. With separate drivers, the code would become easier to read IMHO. Obviously this implies some code duplication but I believe we reached the point where this should be considered. Another benefit is that we could then have separate maintainers for the two drivers, so better load balancing. -- Jean Delvare _______________________________________________ lm-sensors mailing list lm-sensors@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.lm-sensors.org/mailman/listinfo/lm-sensors
