agreed.
This doesn't conform to either our 2.4 or 2.6 driver template in several ways:
- no chip detection
- no bus functionality checking
- no conformance to sysfs guidelines
- uses i2c_master_send rather than i2c_smbus_xxx
- thermal control loop in kernel space
- Apple-specific and keywest-specific code
