As long as the other file names do not collide with the any of names in Documentation/hwmon/sysfs-interface, it's OK. libsensors will ignore the extra stuff. > I can provide two devices, ibm-acpi.0 and ibm-acpi.1, and have the hwmon > attributes in only one of them, and register just that one with the hwmon > class. Would that be better/safer? A single device would be fine. In the long run we will probbaly have to turn the hwmon attributes into class attributes anyway, so they will get their own naming space. -- Jean Delvare ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
