I too did notice that the adm9240 case was worse than the four other ones back then, but when I tried to get it to crash, it never did. This is the reason why I did not push this patch upstream faster. I wonder why it now does oops on you. I also believe that this patch was somewhat misnamed. It is not related to the new hwmon class, but jut happened to change the same part of these five drivers. With a better name, the patch would most probably have been selected by Greg in the last batch of i2c patches to Linus. > The patch in Greg's tree looks fine (it's a straightforward fix, after > all); I wouldn't call it straightforward, but it certainly has been reviewed and tested well enough by now to be considered safe. > I'd recommend that it be merged before 2.6.13. Fine with me.
