From 8e9afcbbdef71aeeb510732f4f8d5ac3de863df0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jean Delvare Date: Tue, 12 Dec 2006 18:18:28 +0100 Subject: hwmon/it87: Remove the SMBus interface support This interface was useless as the LPC ISA-like interface is always available, is faster, and is more reliable. This cuts the driver size by some 20%. This change is also required to later convert the it87 driver to a platform driver, so that we can get rid of i2c-isa in a near future.
