I synced the linux-next from:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git
and use the tag v3.10-rc7, but in the lm90.c it doesn't have DT support,
such as "onnn,nct1008".
I googled it and found there has patch:
[PATCH] hwmon: (lm90) Add device tree support , which is in:
http://lists.lm-sensors.org/pipermail/lm-sensors/2013-February/038099.html
, but it didn't be merged into the linux-next.
which git repository and branch should I use ?
Thanks.
Wei.
