Well, confusion probably would have been avoided if it had been
properly documented that the MAX6648 and MAX6692 were already
supported. So I think we should still apply the Kconfig part of your
patch. Documentation/hwmon/lm90 would need a small update as well.
Could you please send an updated patch doing this? I would be happy to
apply that.
