The sensors project people are working on these even now, and we already have a patch for the w83627hf driver... http://lists.lm-sensors.org/pipermail/lm-sensors/2006-August/017204.html Jean Delvare (hwmon maintainer) should be sending these up the chain soon. Michal: if you're interested in fixing any of the rest of them, please take a look at the patch above to see the mechanism we intend to use. It actually makes the drivers *smaller* than they were.
