Definitely pointless as an event, but as the device is so slow, I can see some merit in allowing poll on the sysfs attributes rather than insisting on a full buffer implementation. > >> adt7310 - should be in hwmon as far as I can see.... + it's abusing our interfaces >> so I don't like it ;) For now I've squashed the events into basic temp events. >> adt7410 - the same. >> >> adt7316 - The fault condition on the external temperature sensor isn't an event that >> one should ever see unless something is horribly wrong.

Probably need to clarify the documentation to say that any of these attributes can effect any other and userspace should check all values after it has configured what it wants.
