unit-address is wrong.


Will fix it using the reg value.

It is a different bus from cputemp? Otherwise, you have conflicting
addresses. If that's the case, probably should make it clear by showing
different host adapters for each example.


It could be the same bus with cputemp. Also, client address sharing is possible by PECI core if the functionality is different. I mean, cputemp and dimmtemp targeting the same client is possible case like this.
peci-cputemp@30
peci-dimmtemp@30


Oh, I got your point. Probably, I should change these separate settings into one like

peci-client@30 {
     compatible = "intel,peci-client";
     reg = <0x30>;
};

Then cputemp and dimmtemp drivers could refer the same compatible string. Will rewrite it.


I've checked it again and realized that it should use function based node name like:

peci-cputemp@30
peci-dimmtemp@30

If it use the same string like 'peci-client@30', the drivers cannot be selectively enabled. The client address sharing way is well handled in PECI core and this way would be better for the future implementations of other PECI functional drivers such as crash dump driver and so on. So I'm going change the unit-address only.

Thanks,

Jae
