Patch accepted, will be in next -mm, and from there will go to 2.6.22.
Thanks :)

I've made the minimum fix for the 2.10.3 release, so that at least no
error is displayed. Feel free to propose further improvements later.
I've also updated the Devices on our wiki to reflect the current state
of the MAX6650/MAX6651 support.

If you start working on the lm93 driver, make sure to search the
mailing list archives first. I remember that the driver was already
ported to Linux 2.6, but never reviewed. This was some times ago
though, many things changed in the kernel meanwhile, so it's up to you
whether you want to start from an old port or from scratch. Beware, the
lm93 driver is a fat beast.
