[lm-sensors] Analog Devices ADT7462

[Juergen Kilb]

Hi Jean,
maybe the ADT7462 is in some way compatible with the ADT7463 like 
the ADT7475 is compatible with an ADT7463.
I have tried to use the lm85 driver. (The ADT7475 is missing the Vid Inputs.)

My first attempd was to force the ADT7463 with

modprobe lm85 force_adt7463:0,0x2e

but this fails with
=====
FATAL: Error inserting 
lm85 /lib/modules/2.6.16.21-0.13-smp/kernel/drivers/hwmon/lm85.ko): Unknown 
symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)
====

After that i have added the verstep to lm85.c

#define LM85_VERSTEP_ADT7475            0x69

and changed inside lm85_detect ...

  } else if( company == LM85_COMPANY_ANALOG_DEV
                    && (verstep == LM85_VERSTEP_ADT7463
                         || verstep == LM85_VERSTEP_ADT7463C
                         || verstep == LM85_VERSTEP_ADT7475) ) {
                        kind = adt7463 ;

now sensors give me the following infos:

What do you think about this ?
Could it also work for the ADT7462 ?
