FWIW, your post was properly received by the list on March 13th:

No, we don't want to expose MAX_SENSOR_TYPES as part of the API, nor
MAX_SENSORS_PER_TYPE or MAX_SUBFEATURES for that matter. These are
values libsensors only needs to build a temporary sparse array in order
to sort all the subfeatures properly. This is really an implementation
detail applications shouldn't care about. These values are likely to be
incremented in the future, and we really don't want applications to
need a rebuild when this happens. Applications should not assume any
limitation in what libsensors can pass to them.

You could split the prog/sensors part, that's easy and that way we can
merge the libsensors part quickly even if there are more discussions
about the prog/sensors part.

power[1-*]_average_interval is not expressed in Watts, so it should be:

	SENSORS_SUBFEATURE_POWER_AVERAGE_INTERVAL = (SENSORS_FEATURE_POWER << 8) | 0x80,

Otherwise "compute" statements meant for the power value itself would
also apply to the interval, which doesn't make sense.

What about the power[1-*]_input, power[1-*]_input_highest and
power[1-*]_input_lowest files which are already described in
Documentation/hwmon/sysfs-interface? It seems odd to add support for
the average values without also adding support for the instantaneous
values.

This comment should be updated to mention the two new types.

You'll have to add another case to handle
SENSORS_SUBFEATURE_POWER_AVERAGE_INTERVAL once it is treated as an
"unscaled" subfeature.

The rest looks all OK to me.

This can be discussed separately, but doesn't belong to this patch.

This would print the value with a resolution of 1 Watt, while your
interface proposal suggested to use the microWatt as a unit. This
doesn't seem very consistent. Wouldn't "%6.2f W" make more sense?

I can't see the rationale for using %4.0f for the min and %1.0f for the
max. Can you please explain?

This would print the value with a resolution of 1 Joule, while your
interface proposal suggested to use the microJoule as a unit. This
doesn't seem very consistent.

Note that if you expect a wide range of possible power or energy values
across devices, we could adjust the unit depending on the value, for
example mW if the value is less than 1 Watt, and W otherwise. This was
never needed for other measurement types so far, so we didn't implement
it, but that can be added if needed.
