Hmm, it doesn't specify the child device, just the parent.  *sigh*  That's=

lame.  You don't have to call it amdpmsub0 btw, you could just call it amdp=
m1=20
if you wanted and have amdpm1 a child of amdpm0.  All that would need to=20
change for that is the NF2_SUBDEV string and the DRIVER_MODULE line (it wou=
ld=20
be DRIVER_MODULE(amdpm, amdpm, ...)).  This has the added advantage that yo=
u=20
don't have to patch smbus.c.
