What are these two channels actually measuring? Is the value of a single channel meaningful on it's own? If not it might make sense to update the IIO driver to just have one temperature channel. - Lars _______________________________________________ lm-sensors mailing list lm-sensors@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.lm-sensors.org/mailman/listinfo/lm-sensors
