[PATCH] I2C: No reset not limit init in via686a
The following patch removes limits initialization in the via686a driver. It was decided some times ago that this belongs to user-space, not kernel. See the thread here: http://archives.andrew.net.au/lm-sensors/msg06134.html It also prevents the sensor chip from being savagely reset at load time. This too follows a decision taken long ago that drivers should do as little as possible in their init procedure. See the thread here: http://archives.andrew.net.au/lm-sensors/msg04593.html This should make the driver smaller, safer and faster to load. The same was done to our 2.4/CVS version of the driver 5 months ago and it seems to work just fine.
