Hi Giel,

Should I just ask for this patch to be applied together with Alan's?
Then submit the new driver? (I'm a bit new to the non-technical aspects
of Linux kernel development).

I'd expect to see a submission of three patches I think

1. Patch adding the muxed resource support
2. Patch making the hwmon driver use it
3. Patch adding the new driver which needs it

and then we have a few other bits of code that probably should adopt it,
but that is a separate matter and other maintainers can do that bit.


What Alan said :)

Although I'm not sure what the proper place is to post this entire set,
I guess linux-kernel itself, with lm_sensors in the CC.

Regards,

Hans
