Guys, when using some general git hosting site, I really want some
proof that you are you. Not just a "please pull".

Tell me *why* I should believe that this is a real pull request from
the proper source. Otherwise I'll just wait until kernel.org is back
to life, where random people can't just create repositories and send
email.

Hi Linus,

sorry, I didn't think that far. You are absolutely right. No idea if and how
I can prove that I am me. Generate a PGP signature ? Can't everyone do that 
and subsequently claim to be me ? All I represent (technically) is an account
on kernel.org, which might not even exist anymore.

On the high side, there is only one "Guenter Roeck" in the US, so if you want
you can look me up and give me a call. But even if you would do that, you still
won't know for sure if the person talking to you is the electronic "me".
So I guess we are stuck.

The fixes are not that important and can wait. Please ignore my pull request;
I'll re-send it after kernel.org is up and running again.

Thanks,

Guenter

When you created this account on kernel.org, you used a PGP key to
identify yourself, didn't you? If you sign your message with that key,
then a few people (basically the kernel.org maintainers) will be able
to confirm that you are the same person who had a trusted kernel.org
account. I don't know if Linus has the list though.

What surprises me a little is that I don't have your public key in my
keyring, and I can't seem to be able to find it on public servers
either. You really should push your key to public key servers,
otherwise a signed message from you has no value in general.

Obviously it's a little late now though. The whole idea of trust and
signatures is to keep the level of trust after odd events such as the
kernel.org break-in. For this, keys must have been exchanged, tested
and trusted long before said event happens.

It's getting long :( I wonder how much more time it will take.

Yeah, one may notice that I am not a security guy and don't pay sufficient
attention to such matters.

Agreed.

FWIW:
* This pull request from Guenter matches the recent patch reviews on
  the lm-sensors list.
* I have reviewed the 3 patches as they exist in the mentioned
  repository and branch and they match what has been approved on the
  list.
* All the e-mail headers are exactly as I would expect from Guenter.

So while I can't guarantee that Guenter is Guenter, the pull request
definitely looks sane and safe.
