Users provided information for boards from AMD-400 and sTRX40 families
and demonstrated that sensor addresses differ from those for the AMD-500
family. Also the AMD-400 family board uses the global ACPI lock instead
of a dedicated mutex to guard access to the hardware.
This patchset implements required changes to support other board
families:
- per-family sensor definitions
- options to choose hardware/state guard mutex: an AML mutex or the
global ACPI lock.
These changes are used to add support for the PRIME X470-PRO board.
Changes in
v3:
- Added family_unknown member to the board_family enum to ensure the
default value of 0 is not a valid family value.
- Added a note explaining why module_platform_driver_probe() is chosen
over module_platform_driver().
v2:
- Removed the case without ACPI mutex where the state was guarded using
the normal mutex. After receiving an update from user that case
turned out to be non-existent.
- Removed the __initconst attribute from the board data array.
- Updated documentation to include the special string for the mutex
path module parameters which make the driver use the global ACPI
lock.
