A chip returning 0x00 in all registers is erroneously detected

Looks reasonable.

Did sensors-detect misdetect that chip as an LM75 too, or was the
extended detection logic there good enough already?


Hi Jean,

sensors-detect is fine. Easy to test -load i2c-stub and see what
happens. I assume that is due to the "All registers hold same value"
test. Should I use that test instead ? I kind of prefer it.

Thanks,
Guenter
