There was a patch-set that detect such interference from myself and Jean which was not accepted by Linus. This is what I got from Jean recently, he should be able to point you to the latest patches if you want to give them a try: ---------------------------------------------- On Mon, 28 Apr 2008 22:13:13 -0700, Andrew Morton wrote: > In light of Linus's dummyspit last time around I guess I'll drop > this patch. That's OK, I'll include it in my i2c tree instead. While Linus doesn't like it, he didn't actually provide replacement code, only a vague idea which Thomas and myself know by experience, won't work well anyway. As the checks done by this driver are valuable, having it in -mm and linux-next is still good. -- Jean Delvare ---------------------------------------------- If you get a conflict you should see something like this when loading the hwmon/sensor driver: i2c /dev entries driver f71805f: Found F71805F/FG chip at 0x290, revision 19 ACPI: I/O resource f71805f [0x290-0x297] conflicts with ACPI region IP__ [0x295-0x296] ACPI: Device needs an ACPI driver Thomas
