+Subject: [PATCH] hwmon it87: Probe i2c 0x2d only
+
+Only scan I2C address 0x2d. This is the default address and no IT87xxF
+chip was ever seen on I2C at a different address. These chips are
+better accessed through their ISA interface anyway.
+
+This fixes bug #5889, although it doesn't address the whole class
+of problems. We'd need the ability to blacklist arbitrary I2C addresses
+on systems known to contain I2C devices which behave badly when probed.
