lm_sensors on Itanium

[Marc Rieffel]

After modifying smsc47m1.c, sensors-detect didn't detect anything, but manually loading the smsc47m1 driver succeeded and gave me bogus fan speeds,

sensors
smsc47m1-isa-0800
Adapter: ISA adapter
fan1:       -1 RPM  (min = 2997 RPM, div = 2)
fan2:       -1 RPM  (min = 2997 RPM, div = 2)


ls /proc/sys/dev/sensors/smsc47m1-isa-0800/
alarms  fan1  fan2  fan_div  pwm1  pwm2

[root at gb0010 sensors]# cat /proc/sys/dev/sensors/smsc47m1-isa-0800/*
0
2997 -1
2997 -1
2 2
0 0
0 0

I must have sent you the i2c info before I had loaded one of the modules.  I can see both i2c-0 and i2c-1:

[root at gb0010 sensors]# cat /proc/bus/i2c
i2c-0   smbus           SMBus I801 adapter at 0600              Non-I2C SMBus adapter
i2c-1   dummy           ISA main adapter                        ISA bus algorithm

What do you think is preventing us from accessing the adm1026 chip?
