Subject: hwmon: (it87) Avoid registering the same chip on both SIO addresses
From: Guenter Roeck <linux@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 8358378b22518d92424597503d3c1cd302a490b6 upstream.
IT8705F is known to respond on both SIO addresses. Registering it twice
may result in system lockups.
Reported-by: Russell King <linux@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Fixes: e84bd9535e2b ("hwmon: (it87) Add support for second Super-IO chip")
