Some problems with this patch...

1) The whitespace is all busted (spaces where tabs should be).
Did you copy-paste this patch into your mailer?

2) This patch requires 'patch -p0' to apply, whereas standard practice
for Linux kernel patches is to use 'patch -p1'.

3) It's not obvious: to which revision does this patch apply?

Despite these problems, I fixed it up and applied it to my testing
branch... so the change will get to Linus after 2.6.25 is final.

You can find the result here:

http://lm-sensors.org/kernel?p=kernel/mhoffman/hwmon-2.6.git;a=shortlog;h=testing

I try to cut some slack for first-time patch submitters (not to mention
former customers, heh).  But next time, please try to check those things
above before you send a patch.  

Thanks & regards,
