[lm-sensors] [PATCH 2.6.12-rc4-mm2] drivers: (dynamic sysfs callbacks) update device attribute callbacks

[Yani Ioannou]

Hi Greg,

I'm taking two steps here to try and mitigate the pain of a potential -mm merge.

I'm including a patch against 2.4.12-rc4-mm2 to fix the failed hunks
when applying my 2.4.12-rc4 patch and update the callbacks in the new
drivers that exist in -mm2.

In reply to this patch I'll include the latest perl script I'm using
to update callbacks in code which can be used to update any old
callbacks in a single file/source tree to the new callbacks. A warning
along the lines of  "warning: assignment from incompatible pointer
type" when compiling is a good sign of an old callback that needs
updating..

It is important to note that unlike before, updating the callbacks
isn't just removing warnings/good practice. The new device_attribute *
parameter was not added on the end of callback function's parameter
list as the void * parameter was in previous device_attribute patches,
but as the second parameter (mainly because of style and Russell did
it that way). Thus if a device_attribute callback isn't updated it
will very likely be broken...

If you can think of anything else I can do let me know to ease things
let me know.

Yani
