That's still better than not being able to load the driver at all, which will happen with your device declaration above without the updated lm75 driver. > Is there > any chance of the new driver being merged during the next change window? Depends on Mark M. Hoffman (Cc'd), not me. I've reviewed and acked the lm75 patches, but it's up to Mark to merge them. > PS, I've done a quick test of the new lm75 driver and it seems to work > fine for me and would like to see a solution where we don't need to force > probe the lm75 module. Of course, the updated driver is the way to go in your case. -- Jean Delvare _______________________________________________ i2c mailing list i2c-GZX6beZjE8VD60Wz+7aTrA@public.gmane.org http://lists.lm-sensors.org/mailman/listinfo/i2c
