Subject: [PATCH v3 1/2] hwmon: Rename i8k driver to dell-smm-hwmon and move it to hwmon tree
Date: Thu, 14 May 2015 13:16:36 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1431602197-2172-1-git-send-email-pali.rohar@gmail.com> (raw)
This commit moves i8k driver to hwmon tree under name dell-smm-hwmon which is
better name then abbreviation i8k. For backward compatibility is added macro
MODULE_ALIAS("i8k") so modprobe will load driver also old name i8k. CONFIG_I8K
compile option was not changed.
This commit also adds me as maintainer of this new dell-smm-hwmon driver and
remove Guenter Roeck from list who is implicit maintainer all hwmon drivers.
