So, based on the fact that children device names usually contain dashes, I do not understand why hwmon would be any special in this regard. It is possible that the hwmon developers have not faced much MFD situation before, and so, this was not considered to be handled like in other subsystems. I am proposing to change this "rule"... Any objection? _______________________________________________ lm-sensors mailing list lm-sensors@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.lm-sensors.org/mailman/listinfo/lm-sensors
