hwmon/w83627hf: Don't assume bank 0
Already in Linus' tree: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=d58df9cd788e6fb4962e1c8d5ba7b8b95d639a44 The bank switching code assumes that the bank selector is set to 0 when the driver is loaded. This might not be the case. This is exactly the same bug as was fixed in the w83627ehf driver two months ago: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=0956895aa6f8dc6a33210967252fd7787652537d In practice, this bug was causing the sensor thermal types to be improperly reported for my W83627THF the first time I was loading the w83627hf driver. From the driver history, I'd say that it has been broken since September 2005 (when we stopped resetting the chip by default at driver load.)
