sensors-detect: support for mfd-based SMBus controller drivers

Reported by: khali Owned by: khali
Priority: major Milestone: 3.3.4
Component: sensors-detect Version: 3.3.1
Keywords: mfd Cc:

Description

Some SMBus controller drivers are now using the mfd framework, meaning that you have to load two drivers instead of just one.

Examples:
cs5535-mfd + scx200_acb (since kernel 2.6.38)
lpc_sch + i2c-isch (since kernel 2.6.34)

sensors-detect currently lacks support for this, and will only load the second driver. If the mfd driver isn't loaded then the SMBus can't be accessed.
