Apologies for the newbie question. I'm trying to follow the hwmon code and see how hwmon_chip_attributes are read and used. (Namely, I'm interested in hwmon_chip_update_interval, and what the default update interval is if no interval is specified.) I can find lots of different drivers that provide hwmon_chip_update_interval, but I'm looking for the code that actually uses its value, if that makes sense. I've been slowly trying to follow it through and am guessing it may be in the general device driver infrastructure, but haven't yet been able to follow it to the code that actually uses hwmon_chip_update_interval or the other chip attributes. Any pointers to code or docs that would help? Thanks!
I am not sure I understand your question. Every driver supporting hwmon_chip_update_interval (that is, the "update_interval" sysfs attribute) will also use it, typically to set some chip configuration option. There is no generic default value for this attribute. The default value, if the attribute is supported, is chip specific. Guenter
