Revision 6040, 21.4 KB (checked in by khali, 14 months ago)

Avoid probing EDID addresses (0x50-0x57) on graphics card adapters.
We had one report that it caused trouble:
 http://lists.lm-sensors.org/pipermail/lm-sensors/2012-April/035847.html
Even though it's not yet clear what happened, let's play it safe.
This fixes ticket #2386.
