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'. + +Sysfs attributes +---------------- + +fanX_input Measured RPM value. +fanX_min Threshold RPM for alert generation. +fanX_fault 0: No fail condition + 1: Failing fan +tempX_input Measured ambient temperature. +tempX_max Threshold ambient temperature for alert generation. +inX_input Measured power supply voltage +inX_fault 0: No fail condition. + 1: Failing power supply. +power1_input System power consumption (microWatt) |
