MFD diffstat looks great and the changes look sensible: Acked-by: Lee Jones <lee.jones@xxxxxxxxxx> I guess someone will need to create a branch for us all to pull from. I'm happy to do it if needs be. -- Lee Jones Linaro STMicroelectronics Landing Team Lead Linaro.org │ Open source software for ARM SoCs Follow Linaro: Facebook | Twitter | Blog _______________________________________________ lm-sensors mailing list lm-sensors@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.lm-sensors.org/mailman/listinfo/lm-sensors
