Stable, don't ask me, I have never been keen on the "support for new devices doesn't have to follow the stability rules" policy, but apparently I am in the minority. In this specific case, please keep in mind that people can easily instantiate I2C devices from user-space now, and the chip you are adding support for is 100% compatible with one we already support, so a workaround already exists in the absence of official support. > > drivers/hwmon/Kconfig | 8 ++++---- > drivers/hwmon/lm90.c | 6 ++++++ Please follow your own brand new hwmon patch submission guide and update Documentation/hwmon/lm90 as well.

The "Addresses to scan" comment also lists which chips can live at which address. Please update both sections. It might make sense to drop the big header comment in the future, and redirect the reader to the documentation file, after ensuring that it contains all the required information. This would avoid having to update two different lists which are essentially redundant with each new chip we add support for. > @@ -174,6 +174,7 @@ enum chips { lm90, adm1032, lm99, lm86, max6657, max6659, adt7461, max6680, > static const struct i2c_device_id lm90_id[] = { > { "adm1032", adm1032 }, > { "adt7461", adt7461 }, > + { "adt7461a", adt7461 }, > { "lm90", lm90 }, > { "lm86", lm86 }, > { "lm89", lm86 }, > @@ -1153,6 +1154,11 @@ static int lm90_detect(struct i2c_client *new_client, > && (reg_config1 & 0x1B) == 0x00 > && reg_convrate <= 0x0A) { > name = "adt7461"; > + } else > + if (chip_id == 0x57 /* ADT7461A, NCT1008 */ > + && (reg_config1 & 0x1B) == 0x00 > + && reg_convrate <= 0x0A) { > + name = "adt7461a"; > } > } else > if (man_id == 0x4D) { /* Maxim */ Other than this, these changes look good and I'll be happy to pick the patch in my tree when it's ready. -- Jean Delvare -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
