Hi Nicolin,

The hwmon core now has a new optional mode interface. So this patch
just implements this mode support so that user space can check and
configure via sysfs node its operating modes: power-down, one-shot,
and continuous modes.


One-shot mode on its own does not make sense or add value: It would require
explicit driver support to trigger a reading, wait for the result, and
report it back to the user. If the intent here is to have the user write the
mode (which triggers the one-shot reading), wait a bit, and then read the
results, that doesn't make sense because standard userspace applications
won't know that. Also, that would be unsynchronized - one has to read the
CVRF bit in the mask/enable register to know if the reading is complete.
The effort to do all this using CPU cycles would in most if not all cases
outweigh any perceived power savings. As such, I just don't see the
practical use case.

power-down mode effectively reinvents runtime power management (runtime
suspend/resume support) and is thus simply unacceptable.

I am open to help explore adding support for runtime power management
to the hwmon subsystem, but that would be less than straightforward and
require an actual use case to warrant the effort.

As such, NACK, sorry.

Thanks,
Guenter
