Ok Cool. Yeah, the patches were copied to the mailing list. Only the cover letter somehow I forgot to copy the mailing lists while git-sending-email. I will resend the two patches (and the cover letter) after fixing the comment on patch 2/2. > > Thanks, > Guenter > > > Cc: Jean Delvare <[email protected]> > > Cc: Guenter Roeck <[email protected]> > > Cc: [email protected] > > Cc: [email protected] > > Signed-off-by: Eduardo Valentin <[email protected]> > > --- > > drivers/hwmon/hwmon.c | 2 +- > > 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) > > > > diff --git a/drivers/hwmon/hwmon.c b/drivers/hwmon/hwmon.c > > index fcdbac4a56e3..6b3559f58b67 100644 > > --- a/drivers/hwmon/hwmon.c > > +++ b/drivers/hwmon/hwmon.c > > @@ -619,7 +619,7 @@ __hwmon_device_register(struct device *dev, const char > > *name, void *drvdata, > > if (err) > > goto free_hwmon; > > > > - if (dev && chip && chip->ops->read && > > + if (dev && dev->of_node && chip && chip->ops->read && > > chip->info[0]->type == hwmon_chip && > > (chip->info[0]->config[0] & HWMON_C_REGISTER_TZ)) { > > const struct hwmon_channel_info **info = chip->info; > > -- > > 2.21.0 > > -- All the best, Eduardo Valentin
