Have them register as thermal devices and leave their hwmon interface unchanged? For simple temperature sensor devices, the current situation (expose thermal devices as hwmon devices automatically) works well, but if a more complex devices (with, say, voltage sensors) needs to be exposed as a thermal device then it doesn't work. If we want to handle this case, then I see no alternative to having each driver implement both interfaces. -- Jean Delvare -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-acpi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
