Fam16h,M30h(Mullins) and Fam15hM30h(Kaveri) processors can
report 'power_crit' value. So, adding their respective device ids.

Also, according to BKDGs, the 'TdpRunAvgAccCap' that show_power()
uses is valid only on Fam15h, Models 0x0-0xF. On all other processors
the field is 'Reserved'. So, return error if we are on any other family/model.

Impact on lm-sensors is minimal. On such families, instead of reporting
Current power value as '0', we now have:
power1:           N/A

It will result in people complaining to us about it.

It would be more appropriate to not create the attribute the first place
if it is not supported. Sure, that is a bit more code, but it isn't that bad.
You can simply return -ENODEV for unsupported CPUs from the probe function.

The comment does not match the code. The comment talks about accepting models
F15h, models 0x0-0xF, but the code rejects anything but F15h model 0x0.
Ah. Yes, The condition should have been (..boot_cpu_data.x86_model > 0xf)

Now it may well be that the above describes identifies all F15h and F16h CPUs,
but this is not clear from the comment. It rather looks as if anything but F15h,
model 0x0 is rejected, including all F16h CPUs. But then why accept F16h CPUs
in the first place ?
Yes, we want to reject anything but F15h, Models 00h-0fh.
The reason I included the newer processor IDs, (and let
PCI_DEVICE_ID_AMD_16H_NB_F4) remain
is because we can still obtain 'critical power value'. It is only
the 'current power' that is not exposed.

That is a behavioral change, though; previously the current power was
reported for F16h chips with PCI ID PCI_DEVICE_ID_AMD_16H_NB_F4.
Is this a bug, ie should the power value not have been reported
for the F16h chips ?

That's right.

If we return -ENODEV in the probe function (or we can just remove
the listed PCI_DEVICE_ID), then we'd not get the critical power
values too.

If you want to make the actual power reporting conditional, you should
introduce an is_visible function to the attribute group to ensure that
power1_input is only reported if/when supported. If the actual power
value is not really supported for F16h chips, you should actually provide
two separate patches: One to make power1_input optional, to be reported for
supported chips only, and another to add more chips. One is a bug fix,
the other a functionality extension.


Ok, I'll do that and resend.

Thanks,
