So I will take a look before that happens. So it looks like i915 (dgpu only) and nouveau already use hwmon.. so maybe this is a good way to expose temp. Maybe we can wire up some sort of helper for drivers which use thermal_cooling_device (which can be composed of multiple sensors) to give back an aggregate temp for hwmon to report? Freq could possibly be added to hwmon (ie. seems like a reasonable attribute to add). Devfreq might also be an option but on arm it isn't necessarily associated with the drm device, whereas we could associate the hwmon with the drm device to make it easier for userspace to find.
