PATCH 1/1 it87.c patch for Shuttle SS51G and co

Hi Guys,

Quoted 7 lines

The included patch implements a it87 module parameter to enable/disable the chip init when explicitely specified. The default is still "1". On Shuttle SS51G machines (and related) reseting the chip also resets the "vario" speed of the fans, causing them to go at full speed thereafter until the next reboot. Noisy :-)

The patch is against vanilla 2.6.3 i2c.

Hm, can you use the directions for patching that are found in Documentation/SubmittingPatches (use -u and make the patch so it can be applied from the base of the kernel tree with the -p1 option to patch.)

Also, you don't need to add your name and email address to the comment, it will show up in the changelog entry instead.

Also, please post this to the sensors list (now CCed) so that the other developers there can make comments on it.

thanks,

Hm, we already have a patch pending doing just this, by Takeru KOMORIYA. You can get it here:
http://delvare.nerim.net/i2c/linux-2.6/linux-2.6.3-i2c-it87-2-reset.diff

Greg, I think I remember it's even already in your BK tree...

Yeah it is. I would have realized that when I would have tried to apply it :)

Anyway, this reinforces the fact that stuff should be sent to the mailing list and not only to me...

thanks,
