Re: [lm-sensors] I2C support for AMD Hudson-1

[Christian Herzog <herzog-vpGm2Noi6jeZvKxeG3EEhw@public.gmane.org>]

Dear all,

thanks for the feedback. I was already in contact with Jean because I noticed
the following:

I recently compiled 3.13.0-rc7 on my PC Engines apu beta box, and I2C works
out of the box, without the need for my patch. I'm still looking for somebody
who could shed some light on this situation - chances are we don't need the
patch any longer.
So: is anybody aware of any Hudson-1 related changes to the i2c-piix4 code?

thanks,
-Christian
