The vrm value is system-wide and only needs to be calculated once. Do it when the module is loaded. Provide a module parameter to enable overwriting the default value in case it is wrong or can not be calculated. The first patch modifies hwmon-vid and its API to support and use a locally generated value for vrm or a module parameter specifying it. The vrm API parameter is made optional and ignored if provided. This ensures that the patch can be applied without affecting drivers which are calling the API functions. Subsequent patches update the various hwmon drivers to remove vrm attribute support. At the same time, the cpuX_vid attribute is made optional and only supported if vrm is known. The last patch finalizes the series by removing the optional vrm parameter from the hwmon-vid API functions. This patch series applies to the top of my hwmon-next tree. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-doc" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
