Winbond W83L786NG is not detected by sensors-detect

Reported by: ticket Assigned to: khali
Priority: major Milestone: 3.0.3
Component: misc Version: 3.0.2
Keywords: Cc: steven.schveighoffer@nei.com

Description

The Winbond W83L786NG is supported on lm_sensors' supported hardware, and has a proper kernel driver (w83l786ng.ko) in the kernel (2.6.25).

However, sensors-detect does not map to the driver. It maps to the 'to-be-written' driver. I have attached 2 patches, one which changes sensors-detect to have ng in a clause of its own, and one to do all the NR/NG/R/G versions as the ng driver. I assume that from the devices page the driver supports all, but as a conservative developer, and only having the ng version, I have submitted both options since I haven't tested the others.

Cheers!

good choice! I realized after thinking about it last night that option 1 did nothing to separate the two :)

Thanks!
