After a careful code analysis on the new max6875 driver
(drivers/i2c/chips/max6875.c), I have come to the conclusion that this
driver may cause EEPROM corruptions if used on random systems.
The EEPROM part of the MAX6875 chip is accessed using rather uncommon
I2C sequences. What is seen by the MAX6875 as reads can be seen by a
standard EEPROM (24C02) as writes. If you check the detection method
used by the driver, you'll find that the first SMBus command it will
send on the bus is i2c_smbus_write_byte_data(client, 0x80, 0x40). For
the MAX6875 it makes an internal pointer point to a specific offset of
the EEPROM waiting for a subsequent read command, so it's not an actual
data write operation, but for a standard EEPROM, this instead means
writing value 0x40 to offset 0x80. Blame Philips and Intel for the
obscure protocol.
Since the MAX6875 and the standard, common 24C02 EEPROMs share two I2C
addresses (0x50 and 0x52), loading the max6875 driver on a system with
standard EEPROMs at either address will trigger a write on these
EEPROMs, which will lead to their corruption if they happen not to be
write protected. This kind of EEPROMs can be found on memory modules
(SPD), ethernet adapters (MAC address), laptops (proprietary data) and
displays (EDID/DDC). Most of these are hopefully write-protected, but
not all of them.
For this reason, I would recommend that the max6875 driver be
neutralized, in a way that nobody can corrupt his/her EEPROMs by just
loading the driver. This means either deleting the driver completely, or
not listing any default address for it. I'd like this to be done before
2.6.13-rc1 is released.
Additionally, the max6875 driver lacks the 24RF08 corruption preventer
present in the eeprom driver, which means that loading this driver in a
system with such a chip would corrupt it as well.
Here is a proposed quick patch addressing the issue, although I wouldn't
mind a complete removal if it makes everyone feel safer. I think Ben
has plans to replace this driver by a much simplified one anyway.

I am using the atxp1 module to change vcore on my NForce2 via userspace

Currently the atxp1 module will write to the log on every vcore change,
thus filling up my log - which I don't want. I am no kernel coder, but
I guess, this one-liner will change this behaviour in a wanted way, ie

while the chip also supports voltage inputs with VID, PWM output and
temperature sensor selection. I have no more time to work on this, but
anyone with supported hardware could add the missing functionalities
later.
This driver is largely derived from the w83627hf driver.

Some months ago, you killed the address ranges mechanism from all
sensors i2c chip drivers (both the module parameters and the in-code
address lists). I think it was a very good move, as the ranges can
easily be replaced by individual addresses, and this allowed for
significant cleanups in the i2c core (let alone the impressive size
shrink for all these drivers).
Unfortunately you did not do the same for non-sensors i2c chip drivers.
These need the address ranges even less, so we could get rid of the
ranges here as well for another significant i2c core cleanup. Here comes
a patch which does just that. Since the process is exactly the same as
what you did for the other drivers set already, I did not split this one
in parts.
A documentation update is included.
The change saves 308 bytes in the i2c core, and an average 1382 bytes
for chip drivers which use I2C_CLIENT_INSMOD, 126 bytes for those which
do not.
This change is required if we want to merge the sensors and non-sensors
i2c code (and we want to do this).

The it87 and via686a hardware monitoring drivers each create a sysfs
file named "alarms" in R/W mode, while they should really create it in
read-only mode. Since we don't provide a store function for these files,
write attempts to these files will do something undefined (I guess) and
bad (I am sure). My own try resulted in a locked terminal (where I
attempted the write) and a 100% CPU load until next reboot.
As a side note, wouldn't it make sense to check, when creating sysfs
files, that readable files have a non-NULL show method, and writable
files have a non-NULL store method? I know drivers are not supposed to
do stupid things, but there is already a BUG_ON for several conditions
in sysfs_create_file, so maybe we could add two more?
