Done,

I didn't fill in the driver name yet though, naming the merged driver fscscy 
might not be such a good idea, since then lm_sensors-2.10.x expects to find the 
raw dumps of the status registers in tempX_status sysfs entries, and without 
these lm_sensors-2.10.x will not work. So I would rather pick a new driver 
name, as the intend of the new driver is to get rid of cruft like the raw 
status register dumps (and replace it by proper _fault and _alarm files).

So maybe I should name it after the newest member of the family (at this 
moment), fschmd, that name is still free, and does not contain xxx. Then I can 
write fschmd support fot lm_sensors-2.10.5 which will not expect the old files, 
and which will gracefully handle the fact that depending on the chip found the 
number of fans and temps can vary.

Regards,

Hans
