[lm-sensors] Working on a driver for the Andigilog aSC7621

[George T. Joseph (development)]

Here's my first cut at the kernel bits.  I haven't worked on the
userspace stuff or the docs yet pending comments on the kernel driver.
I'm sure they'll be plenty. :)  Oh yeah, I used 1048 for the driver id.
I'm not sure what the latest actually is.

I'll test the sensors-detect patch tomorrow.  I don't have a specific
contact at Andigilog but I do have some questions for them so I'll ask
them about the stepping issue as well.

Ok.

In separate patch, yes please to mailing list.

Just

Yep.

Good ;) Btw I have written a sensors-detect patch for all Andigilog
devices. 
Please can you try that out?

Also they are using stepping fields to identify the device. This is no
good, the 
  patch as it is now will miss new steppings. Any idea how to solve it?
(perhaps 
some stepping interval?)

Do you have any good contact at that company to ask?

Thanks,
Regards
Rudolf
