Subject: [lm-sensors] Driver for MAX6696 temperature sensor

Hi all,

one of the hwmon drivers I'll have to write is for MAX6696. This chip is similar to lm90 / max6680,
only it supports three temperature sensors instead of two. The two external sensors share one
set of registers.

What is the better approach - write a new driver based on the lm90 driver,
or modify the lm90 driver to support max6696 and thus optionally three channels ?
Any thoughts ?

Guenter
