Subject: CONFIG_THERMAL_HWMON configuration option removal

Hi,

I just noticed the folllowing in feature-removal-schedule.txt:

What:   CONFIG_THERMAL_HWMON
When:   January 2009
Why:    This option was introduced just to allow older lm-sensors userspace
        to keep working over the upgrade to 2.6.26. At the scheduled time of
        removal fixed lm-sensors (2.x or 3.x) should be readily available.
Who:    Rene Herman <rene.herman@...il.com>

I don't know what the lm-sensors changes are, and if they have been implemented.
Is it time to remove the configuration option ?

Thanks,
Guenter
