    hwmon: (lm78) Detect alias chips · 18c73f90
    Jean Delvare 提交于
    The LM78 and LM79 can be accessed either on the I2C bus or the ISA
    bus. We must not access the same chip through both interfaces. So far
    we were relying on the user passing the correct ignore parameter to
    skip the registration of the I2C interface as suggested by
    sensors-detect, but this is fragile: the user may load the lm78
    driver without running sensors-detect, and the i2c bus numbers are
    not stable across reboots and hardware changes.
    
    So, better detect alias chips in the driver directly, and skip any
    I2C chip which is obviously an alias of the ISA chip. This is done
    by comparing the value of 26 selected registers.
