Sorry, I thought it was a git SHA1 commit ID.
Didn't know hardware manufacturers christen their chips to the abbreviated
commit ID in their VHDL repository ;-)

Indeed, it seems commit 746cdfbf01c0a30d59f6e1b6942d432658d7c7cd
("hwmon: Avoid building drivers for powerpc that read/write ISA addresses")
was a bit too limited...

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But
when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
