Description
|
-----------
|
|
This driver implements reading the platform sensors data like temperature/fan/
|
voltage/power for 'POWERNV' platform.
|
|
The driver uses the platform device infrastructure. It probes the device tree
|
for sensor devices during the __init phase and registers them with the 'hwmon'.
|
'hwmon' populates the 'sysfs' tree having attribute files, each for a given
|
sensor type and its attribute data.
|
|
All the nodes in the DT appear under "/ibm,opal/sensors" and each valid node in
|
the DT maps to an attribute file in 'sysfs'. The node exports unique 'sensor-id'
|
which the driver uses to make an OPAL call to the firmware.
|
|
Usage notes
|
-----------
|
The driver is built statically with the kernel by enabling the config
|
CONFIG_SENSORS_IBMPOWERNV. It can also be built as module 'ibmpowernv'.
