Re: [PATCH] ICH6/6300ESB i2c support

Hi Jason,

A few comments on your patch:

> This patch adds DID support for ICH6 and 6300ESB to i2c-i801.c(SMBus).  In

To me, there are two different things here and you should split your
patch accordingly for clarity.  The renumbering of the entries should go
in a first patch, then the new devices support in i2c-i801 in a second.

I would also suggest that you follow the common habit to name the Intel
82801 chips after their numerical name (82801AA. 82801BA, etc...) and
not their nickname (ICH, ICH2...) in both the entries and the comments. 
Not that it is absolulety better, but that's the way we did so far, so
why change now?

I would appreciate it if you could submit a similar patch for the 2.4
version of the i2c-i801 driver as held in the lm_sensors project.

Thanks.
