From 4ad40cc568c5537de11092d3362f9cb287f915d9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Guenter Roeck Date: Thu, 4 Dec 2014 09:58:15 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] hwmon: (lm75) Strengthen detect function A chip returning 0x00 in all registers is erroneously detected as LM75. Check hysteresis and temperature limit registers and abort if both are 0 to reduce the likelyhood for this to happen.
