This driver does NOT only run on PowerPC; rather it runs on a BMC processor connected to a PowerPC processor. BMC will most likely be ARM, but shouldn't be restricted to that arch only.



Also drop configuration symbol SENSORS_OCC which serves no purpose
that I can see.

SENSORS_OCC *would* serve a purpose if the common code between the
POWER8 driver and the POWER9 driver would go in a separate, shared
module, and occ-p8-hwmon and occ-p9-hwmon would only contain the
specific code. This would avoid packaging the same code twice in 2
separate modules, therefore saving some storage space for ppc
distributions.


Well you'd never have both P8 and P9 enabled at once, so space shouldn't be an issue. I agree this could be cleaner but I think I was getting duplicate symbol errors for the compile test and so I did it this way. If this doesn't lead to errors in the compile test, I'm fine with this (without the change for PPC only though).


Thanks,

Eddie


As far as I can see, this would simply require exporting 2 functions
(occ_setup and occ_shutdown). Is there any reason why things were not
done that way in the first place? This would look cleaner to me.
