Well, it was almost a new topic...

I'm not sure I have got the above correctly, do you mean that the just
submitted asus_wmi_sensors HWMON driver will be replaced by your
changes? If so, you guys, need a lot to improve communication between
each other before submitting anything upstream.

Yes, you get it right. Sorry for that, it was a long story and I
worked on the subject
only occasionally, so that when Denis took the code and submitted it
to the mainline
I was not sure which approach is better, and so I did not stop him.


We won't be heving two drivers with the same functionality. Give me one
reason why I should not drop the wmi driver (or both of them; I am not
sure which one we are talking about here).

On top of all that, this submission isn't about any of the wmi drivers,
but for the nct6775 driver, which just adds to the confusion.
