My original idea was to simply add a read-only hwmon-like interface to
the acpi fan and thermal modules. I didn't plan to replace the current
interfaces offered by these modules, at least not directly. There must
be many user-space tools and scripts relying on these at the moment, so
we need a transition period anyway.
Agree.
I've already finished the patch to duplicate ACPI procfs function in
sysfs, i.e. export the similar information while in sysfs style. And I
think this can make it not so painful for use-space tools and scripts to
convert to sysfs interface.
Oh, a _read-only_ interface? Then, it will be much easier.
But what is it used for?
For libsensors using applications like sensors, gkrellm and ksensors to display
temp and fan info?
