Sorry guys for bothering you again

 I was running 2.6.39.4 kernel now.  Software reboot always creating
problems with LM75 device and saying address
 is busy but with hardware reboot It works fine (since all the power to
board gets resets)

 Added a error message on failure of * i2c_check_addr_busy.*

*        /* Check for address business */
        status = i2c_check_addr_busy(adap, client->addr);
        if (status) {
             dev_err(&adap->dev, "Address Busy to register i2c client %s at
0x%02x "
                "(%d)\n", client->name, client->addr, status);

                goto out_err;
        }*


* i2c i2c-3: Address Busy to register i2c client lm75 at 0x4c (-16)*
 i2c i2c-3: Failed to register i2c client lm75 at 0x4c (-16)
*i2c i2c-3: Address Busy to register i2c client lm75 at 0x4b (-16)*
i2c i2c-3: Failed to register i2c client lm75 at 0x4b (-16)

Thanks
