Hmm. This IP block is more than just a sensor. It also can interrupt the CPU and/or trigger a GPIO line (to shut down the chip) if the chip temperature crosses some thresholds. On some OMAPs, the thresholds are fixed; on others, they are software-programmable. That functionality shouldn't require sysfs; it's almost closer to an x86 MCE. So based on your comments, it sounds like we should move that part of the code to a different driver, and just leave the basic software thermal monitoring here? - Paul _______________________________________________ lm-sensors mailing list lm-sensors@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.lm-sensors.org/mailman/listinfo/lm-sensors
