Merge tag 'hwmon-for-v5.2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/groeck/linux-staging
Pull hwmon updates from Guenter Roeck:
- Add driver for Intersil ISL68137 PWM Controller
- Add driver for Lochnagar 2
- Add driver for Infineon IR38064 Voltage Regulator
- Add support for TMP75B to lm75 driver
- Convert documentation to ReST format
- Use request_muxed_region for Super-IO accesses in several drivers
- Add 'samples' attribute to ABI, and start using it
- Add support for custom sysfs attributes to pmbus drivers (used in
ISL68137 driver)
- Introduce HWMON_CHANNEL_INFO macro
- Automated changes:
- Use permission specific [SENSOR_][DEVICE_]ATTR variants
- Fix build warnings due to unused of_device_id structures
- Use HWMON_CHANNEL_INFO macro
- Various minor improvements and fixes

Wong + +Description +----------- + +This driver implements sensor reading support for the energy and power meters +available on various IBM System X hardware through the BMC. All sensor banks +will be exported as platform devices; this driver can talk to both v1 and v2 +interfaces. This driver is completely separate from the older ibmpex driver. + +The v1 AEM interface has a simple set of features to monitor energy use. There +is a register that displays an estimate of raw energy consumption since the +last BMC reset, and a power sensor that returns average power use over a +configurable interval. + +The v2 AEM interface is a bit more sophisticated, being able to present a wider +range of energy and power use registers, the power cap as set by the AEM +software, and temperature sensors. + +Special Features +---------------- + +The "power_cap" value displays the current system power cap, as set by the AEM +software. Setting the power cap from the host is not currently supported. |
