I'd like to contribute, but I admit I have reviewed the patch adding support for the W83667HG chip, and had some objections. It's now up to the patch author to answer them and submit a new patch... > I'm better at coding a standard than designing one. What does this > standard need to look like? Basically, a new entry in Documentation/hwmon/sysfs-interface. An entry in this file consists in: * A file name, wisely chosen to fit in the rest of the interface, be non-ambiguous and allow for future extensions. I can't think of any obvious extension in the case of the chassis intrusion detection, but it doesn't hurt to think about it for a moment. For example, could there be chips with more than one chassis intrusion detection sensor? * Possible values for that file, with their meaning. * Whether this file can be written to, what should be written and what happens when you do. Looking at how some drivers implemented it in the absence of a standard (as far as I can see: adm9240, w83792d and w83793) may provide interesting suggestions. Looking at other chips which support the feature even though their driver doesn't yet may be useful as well. I can add you to the Cc list of ticket #2370 if you want. -- Jean Delvare
