Well, I definitely removed the driver before, but I'm not sure if I ever read the /sys files after doing this :-\ > I am curious if this is a recent problem, possibly caused by > changes to the i2c stack, or if older kernels already had this problem > and nobody ever noticed. I suspect the latter. Fair question, but I really could't tell. I realize a bisection would be helpful, but I don't think I'll have to time to do this on this machine (it's a PowerBook G4, but kernel still compilation usually takes ~30min) and I'm not sure that I care _that_ much about this particular issue. I just wanted to report this one, for the sake of the archives, as noone else seems to be bothered by it anyway... > I think that sysfs files creation should be moved to the end of > probe_thermostat() and sysfs files removal should be moved to the > beginning of remove_thermostat(). Something like the totally untested > patch below (no ppc machine at hand): OK, thanks Jean - I'll give it a try later today and let you know. Thanks again, Christian. -- BOFH excuse #398: Data for intranet got routed through the extranet and landed on the internet. _______________________________________________ Linuxppc-dev mailing list Linuxppc-dev@lists.ozlabs.org https://lists.ozlabs.org/listinfo/linuxppc-dev
