Hi, I have a question related to hwmon driver and need suggestions. I am working on a temperature sensor driver that is hwmon driver. - The temperature is calculated from raw sensor reading and certain initialization parameters. - Raw reading obtained from 2 different sensor instances under same conditions can differ. Further, initialization parameters are specific to each hardware instance. - Expressions with floating point operands are used to compute the temperature value. In our platform there are multiple kernel level clients to the temperature sensor driver. Hence I am planning to present temperature to these clients from kernel driver itself. But looking at the hwmon linux documentation, seems the sensor kernel drivers should report only raw readings. The raw readings can be converted into required output, e.g. temperature in this case, by respective user space implementation. However because of my driver clients being in kernel space, I am thinking of doing fixed point calculations in the sensor driver and get the temperature corresponding to raw sensor readings. Please let me know if this a correct approach? If there is a better way, please suggest. -regards, Bitan _______________________________________________ lm-sensors mailing list lm-sensors@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.lm-sensors.org/mailman/listinfo/lm-sensors
