The binding should only explain how we describe the hardware in an operating-system independent way, but not talk about how an OS is supposed to implement those drivers. Having multiple drivers each provide an exported function is not possible in Linux: it immediately breaks building an 'allyesconfig' kernel, and prevents you from running the same kernel across multiple implementations, so that has to be redesigned anyway. > +Required properties: > +- compatible: "peci-hwmon" > +- cpu-id: Should contain CPU socket ID > + - 0 ~ 7 > + > +Optional properties: > +- show-core: If this protperty is defined, core tmeperature attrubites will be s/protperty/property/ s/tmeperature/temperature/ s/attrubites/attributes/ > + enumerated. > +- dimm-nums: Should contain the number of DIMM slots that attached to each CPU > + which is indicated by cpu-id. > + 0 ~ 16 (default: 16) > + In case of 0, DIMM temperature attrubites will not be enumerated. Is this only an initial list that you expect to be extended in the future, or is this a complete list of sensors that can ever be connected to PECI? Should this be PECI version specific? Arnd

Currently IA supports up to 16 slot as the maximum but it could vary in the future architecture. Thanks, Jae
