it87 and lm85 tickets

[ppokorny@penguincomputing.com (Philip Pokorny)]

Sorry, got distracted.

The one hichup I did find from going over the datasheet is that a 
previously "reserved" bit in the "Zone Range/Fan Frequency" register is 
now defined and affects the PWM frequency.  So we need to be careful to 
clear that bit or we have to extend the frequency possibilities.

Does this patch need to be for both 2.6 and 2.4/lm_sensors2?

Thanks,
:v)
