Ahem, this one was opposed to. The right one seems to be:

http://ns1.yosemitephotos.net/lists/arm-kernel/msg125592.html

Note that it is a hwmon-driver and neither the apropriate list nor
maintainers have been CCed. Eric cannot take this patch. Check
MAINTAINERAS (or use scripts/get_maintainer.pl) to find the right people
and this will increase chances to get your patch upstream a lot.
