Description:
w83781d module is not working properly in kernel 2.6.24.


Additional info:
Loading (modprobe) w83781d module doesn't do anything.
dmesg doesn't shows anything. Normally (in older kernel version) it would "say"
something like w83781d: Found a w83782 chip at ISA... etc. Lm sensors can't
work properly. They can't detect the module although it shows up no lsmod.


Steps to reproduce:
Try to modprobe w83781d module at a compatible chipset.

Solution:
There is already a patch available. I have opened a bug report to www.kernel.org but I don't know when they are going to include it. I have tested the patch my self an it is working properly. Please include the patch to the next release.
