  • My understanding of the resource management in the Linux 2.6 device
    driver model is that the devices should declare their resources, and
    then when a driver attaches to a device, it should request the
    resources it will be using, so as to mark them busy. This is how the
    PCI and PNP subsystems work, you can clearly see the two levels of
    resources (declaration and request) in /proc/ioports for these
    devices.

    So I believe that our platform hardware monitoring drivers should
    follow the same logic. At the moment, we only declare the resources
    but we do not request them. This patch adds the I/O region request
    and release calls.

  • hwmon: New driver for the VIA VT1211

    This is a new driver for the VIA VT1211 Super-IO chip. It is a rewrite
    of the existing vt1211 driver (by Mark D. Studebaker and Lars Ekman)
    which has been around for a while but never made it into the main
    kernel tree.

    It is implemented as a platform driver and therefore requires
    lm_sensors 2.10.1 to function properly.
