Hello,
This is v3 of my effort to add i2c support to the nct6775 hwmon
driver.
Changes since v2 [0]:
...
- Renamed drivers and Kconfig symbols to keep existing platform
driver as "nct6775" (SENSORS_NCT6775) and the core module as
"nct6775-core" (SENSORS_NCT6775_CORE) [Guenter]
Unfortunately while this was a simple enough change to make (a few 'git
mv' commands and a handful of actual text changes), it ballooned the
size of the diff for patch 5 to the point that vger bounced it for
exceeding the 100K message-size limit. As far as I can tell it looks
like it went through elsewhere, but does leave a bit of a gap in the
public list archives -- please let me know if there's anything I should
try in terms of re-sending it. (The only combination of 'git
format-patch' flags I've been able to find that gets it back down to
approximately its previous size is '-B -D', which isn't so useful for
actually applying.)
I'm not sure how critical a limit that 100K is, or if it's something we
might consider raising a bit?
Thanks,
Zev
