I don't get it. For lm-sensors 2.10.5, you need chip-specific code for
every new driver, and there's no such code for the W83L786NG yet. So I
don't quite see how you could have tested it. Or do you have a patch
for lm-sensors that adds support? If so, please post it so that it can
be reviewed and applied.

Anyway, lm-sensors 3.0.0 only supports the standard kernel interface,
so it is a very interesting test to make sure that your driver
implements the standard interface properly. Please give it a try.

Thanks,
