Description Reimundo Heluani 2010-02-18 17:47:14 UTC 
The patch in 
http://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/63806/ 
for the module therm_adt746x fixes a serious bug and it is not included in the lates stable ppc kernel. I do not know what the policy is in these cases, perhaps the next kernel should be unmasked? 

R.

Reproducible: Always
