Hmm, that doesn't make me happy, I told my students to not do any API 
changes, as the idea was to get this into 2.x somewhere, as I don't see 
3.0 happening anytime soon. Note that the all the patches only come into 
play when libsensors / sensors doesn't know howto handle a chip, so for 
existing cases nothing changes. (although I plan to remove abituguru 
support from 2.10 when my students code has proven to handle that well, 
and the same could be done for other 2.6 only chips).

Any chance you and Mark could reconcider, and this time do the 
discussion on the list so I get a chance to influence it?

Hans
