Hello Jean, Guenter and others, quite some time ago we talked about adding a new hwmon core interface to make the attributes of the drivers easily accessible to other kernel modules. The following patch does this. It is a heavy WIP and does not reflect the full potential of this interface, but i would like to hear some opinions before I spend more time on this. A short functional summary to make it more easy for you to grok this: basically every driver that wants to provide this interface allocates a hwmon_device_instance, fills out the cap values to reflect the capabilities of the driver/hardware and links this struct as driverdata the hwmon_device returned by hwmon_device_register. hwmon_create_sysfs creates sysfs accessors according to the specified caps and routes accesses through the attribute get and set functions of the hwmon_device_instance. The second patch is only a hackish dummy driver to showcase the new interface. Missing from this interface is a clean way to get/set trip points and the alarm sysfs accessors are currently unimplemented. Could you please give me some feedback? Is this the right direction or am I doing something obviously wrong? Please CC me as I'm not on the list.
