It was against Greg's current i2c tree as I wrote it. The easier for you
would be to start from 2.6.12-rc6 + this patch:

http://khali.linux-fr.org/devel/i2c/linux-2.6/linux-2.6.12-rc6-i2c.patch.gz

Or the latest -mm, at your option (but be aware that
linux-2.6.12-rc6-mm1 has a few known issues WRT hardware monitoring.)

Both include the all the latest it87 patches.

Hey, lucky you. I'd like to have this one, but unfortunately mine is
revision 2 only. So, yours implements the newer auto-pwm model, while
mine implements the old one. You might even get VID readings if your
chip was wired for this.
