[lm-sensors] EPIA sensors (vt1211)

[Kino Davis]

Gentlemen,

My name is Kino Davis and I have taken over the EPIA
Linux HOWTO from Andrew Howlett -- I am in the process
of updating and rewriting everything.

I am trying to find out the status of support for
lm_sensors on the EPIA boards, the vt1211 chip? I have
sent an email to Lars Ekman, but I wonder if you could
give me any information... can you please comment on
the status of the patch incorperation into the kernel
tree.

Thanks in advance, I look forward to hearing from you.
The HOWTO now lives at epialinux.org if you are
interested.

Best Regards,
Kino

Hi Mark,

> see http://www2.lm-sensors.nu/~lm78/supported.html

3 months ago or so, I asked you if you could take a look at Lars Erkan's
port of the vt1211 driver to Linux 2.6. I think I remember that you do
own such a chip yourself, and are somewhat familiar with it, while I
neither have a chip nor have knowledge about it. You did a first review
of the driver, Lars provided a revised version of the driver, and since
then nothing happened.

So, instead of redirecting Kino to a page he most certainly already
read, I'd appreciate if you could review Lars' revised driver [1], give
it a test, and if everything's alright, give your approval for inclusion
into the 2.6 kernel tree. The vt1211 port has been around for over a
year now, it's about time it gets into the officiel 2.6 tree.

Note that, due to the current changes in the 2.6 kernel tree, the driver
will need some changes (sysfs callback functions, and location in the
tree and hwmon class, at least).
