Hi,

the lm90 driver is no longer working on PCs with the 3.13 kernel ... or at 
least not without
special configuration.

This is what I get if I try to instantiate a device on it (max6695):

i2c 1-0018: Driver lm90 requests probe deferral
i2c i2c-1: new_device: Instantiated device max6695 at 0x18

The regulator core always returns -EPROBE_DEFER if the platform does not 
support devicetree
and if the regulator it is looking for does not exist. Since the driver now 
requires a mandatory
regulator (commit 3e0f964f2ad - hwmon: (lm90) Add power control), and the 
regulator it requests
does not exist on a PC, the result is not really surprising. I thought the 
regulator core would
realize that it has to return a dummy regulator, but apparently that is not the 
case, or I don't
know how to configure it.

Any idea what I might need to do to get it working ?

Thanks,
Guenter
