Mine is debian sarge/sid/experimental/dangerous/bleeding_edge/.., but
with a self-brewed vanilla kernel 2.6.11

Full ACK.

I did have a look at lm_sensors, looks like they don't use the i2c
interface at all, but access the /proc or /sys files only.

I commited your patch with some modifications, and added all the auto*
stuff. It compiles cleanly here, but for a simple reason: configure
decieds that linux/i2c.h is unusable, and therefore deactivates I2C
support :-)

Please give it a try!
