From ad3273be8e2a5bfe16f4940beef3da308daf259a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jean Delvare Date: Fri, 17 Oct 2008 17:51:15 +0200 Subject: hwmon: (lm78) Prevent misdetection of Winbond chips The LM78 detection is relatively weak, and sometimes recent Winbond chips can be misdetected as an LM78. We have had repeated reports of this happening. We have an explicit check against this for the ISA access, do the same for I2C access now.
