Problem with it87 sensor in kernel 3.2.2 (sid).

[Sergio Cipolla <secipolla@gmail.com>]

Hi, linux-image was updated today from 3.2.1 to 3.2.2 in sid and broke sensors for it87 chip.

Before the update, messages said:

Feb  2 08:09:55 debian kernel: [   11.269884] it87: Found IT8705F chip at 0x290, revision 2

Feb  2 08:09:55 debian kernel: [   11.269895] it87: Beeping is supported

Feb  2 08:09:55 debian kernel: [   11.270045] it87 it87.656: Detected broken BIOS defaults, disabling PWM interface

After the update:

Feb  2 13:01:54 debian kernel: [   11.022946] it87: Found IT8705F chip at 0x290, revision 2

Feb  2 13:01:54 debian kernel: [   11.022956] it87: Beeping is supported

Feb  2 13:01:54 debian kernel: [   11.023011] ACPI: resource it87 [io  0x0295-0x0296] conflicts with ACPI region IP__ [io 0x295-0x296]

Feb  2 13:01:54 debian kernel: [   11.023017] ACPI: If an ACPI driver is available for this device, you should use it instead of the native driver

So this is a regression as this problem used to happen in older kernels and was solved ( http://www.lm-sensors.org/wiki/FAQ/Chapter3#Mysensorshavestoppedworkinginkernel2.6.31 ).

I was about to open a bug report but reportbug was unable to connect to Debian BTS. So I would like to know if this is really a bug or if I should find some workaround for it.

Thank you very much.
