Cover letter [lm-sensors] [PATCH 00/14] hwmon updates for 2.6.19
Hi Greg,

Here comes a 14-piece hwmon update patchset. There is a new driver for the thermal sensors embedded in AMD K8 CPUs, many fixes and improvements to the it87 driver, including support for the IT8716F and IT8718F, and a few other things. All these patches should go to -mm for now, and to 2.6.19 later.
I've applied them all.
Great, thanks :)

Care to work on all of the
__must_checkwarnings that the hwmon code now spits out in the -mm and my trees? It's quite ugly :(
Mark M. Hoffman and others are already working on that:

I think we should have about half the drivers fixed for 2.6.19 at this rate. My own drivers are a bit delayed because I have some conflicting patches which I need to push to you first.
Note that we decided to abuse the fact that removing a sysfs file which doesn't exist is not considered an error. It makes our code much more simple. I hope there is no plan to change this behavior.
I still wonder how the sysfs file creation functions did qualify for __must_check while nothing bad actually happens if the files are not created. OK, the files are missing, but kernel-wise this doesn't cause any broken state as far as I can see.
I've already taken care of drivers/i2c, BTW. You picked the two core patches some times ago, and I have a third patch for the chip drivers which I will send to you soon (or you can pick it from the i2c list if you want it now.)
