Hi,
make oldconfig asks me here on a x86 machine about this below and it
looks like this should depend on some P8 config item so that it doesn't
show on other architectures.
Right?
I don't immediately see why this should depend on a P8 configuration.
The driver runs on a BMC, after all. My understanding is that a BMC can be
of any architecture. Is there a guarantee that there are and never will be
any x86 BMCs, and/or that BMCs are limited to a certain subset of
architectures ?
Thanks,
Guenter
Thx.
CONFIG_SENSORS_OCC_P8_I2C:
This option enables support for monitoring sensors provided by the
On-Chip Controller (OCC) on a POWER8 processor. However, this driver
can only run on a baseboard management controller (BMC) connected to
the P8, not the POWER processor itself. Communications with the OCC are
established through I2C bus.
This driver can also be built as a module. If so, the module will be
called occ-p8-hwmon.
