It contains one serious fix for the w83627ehf.c hardware monitoring driver. If you use this driver, PLEASE, upgrade to this kernel version. To quote the developer, Jean Delvare: I have had a private report that this bug might have caused permanent hardware damage. There is no definitive proof at this point, but unfortunately due to the lack of documentation I really can't rule it out. This problem only affects the 2.6.23 kernel releases, it is not present on any prior release, or on the 2.6.24 upcoming release, as this fix is already in Linus's tree. I'll also be replying to this message with a copy of the patch between 2.6.23.12 and 2.6.23.13 The updated 2.6.23.y git tree can be found at: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.23.y.git and can be browsed at the normal kernel.org git web browser: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.23.y.git;a=summary thanks, greg k-h -------- Makefile | 2 +- drivers/hwmon/w83627ehf.c | 36 ++++++++++++++++++++++-------------- 2 files changed, 23 insertions(+), 15 deletions(-) Summary of changes from v2.6.23.12 to v2.6.23.13 ================================================ Greg Kroah-Hartman (1): Linux 2.6.23.13 Jean Delvare (1): hwmon: (w83627ehf) Be more careful when changing VID input level
