[lm-sensors] vt1211 module parameters

[Jean Delvare]

Hi Juerg,

I noticed that the vt1211 module parameters are not documented. Usually
have a section for them in the Documentation/hwmon/$driver file. Can
you please provide a documentation update adding it?

The patches I applied for the vt1211 driver and documentation are:
http://khali.linux-fr.org/devel/i2c/linux-2.6/hwmon-vt1211-new-driver.patch
http://khali.linux-fr.org/devel/i2c/linux-2.6/hwmon-vt1211-documentation.patch

Any change you make from now needs to be an incremental patch against
these.

Thanks,

What's the command to generate an inc patch?

Nothing special, just run "diff" between the current and the new
version of the file. Something like:
  diff -u Documentation/hwmon/vt1211.orig Documentation/hwmon/vt1211
should work fine.

By "incremetal", all I meant was: new patches to apply on top of the
current files, and not a complete replacement for the previous patches.

And if you think handling a patch stack manually is difficult, I can
only recommend using quilt:
