| 9 | Description |
| 10 | ----------- |
| 11 | |
| 12 | This driver implements reading the platform sensors data like temperature/fan/ |
| 13 | voltage/power for 'POWERNV' platform. |
| 14 | |
| 15 | The driver uses the platform device infrastructure. It probes the device tree |
| 16 | for sensor devices during the __init phase and registers them with the 'hwmon'. |
| 17 | 'hwmon' populates the 'sysfs' tree having attribute files, each for a given |
| 18 | sensor type and its attribute data. |
| 19 | |
| 20 | All the nodes in the DT appear under "/ibm,opal/sensors" and each valid node in |
| 21 | the DT maps to an attribute file in 'sysfs'. The node exports unique 'sensor-id' |
| 22 | which the driver uses to make an OPAL call to the firmware. |
| 23 | |
| 24 | Usage notes |
| 25 | ----------- |
| 26 | The driver is built statically with the kernel by enabling the config |
| 27 | CONFIG_SENSORS_IBMPOWERNV. It can also be built as module 'ibmpowernv'. |

| 29 | Sysfs attributes |
| 30 | ---------------- |
| 31 | |
| 32 | fanX_input Measured RPM value. |
| 33 | fanX_min Threshold RPM for alert generation. |
| 34 | fanX_fault 0: No fail condition |
| 35 | 1: Failing fan |
| 36 | |
| 37 | tempX_input Measured ambient temperature. |
| 38 | tempX_max Threshold ambient temperature for alert generation. |
| 39 | tempX_highest Historical maximum temperature |
| 40 | tempX_lowest Historical minimum temperature |
| 41 | tempX_enable Enable/disable all temperature sensors belonging to the |
| 42 | sub-group. In POWER9, this attribute corresponds to |
| 43 | each OCC. Using this attribute each OCC can be asked to |
| 44 | disable/enable all of its temperature sensors. |
| 45 | 1: Enable |
| 46 | 0: Disable |
| 47 | |
| 48 | inX_input Measured power supply voltage (millivolt) |
| 49 | inX_fault 0: No fail condition. |
| 50 | 1: Failing power supply. |
| 51 | inX_highest Historical maximum voltage |
| 52 | inX_lowest Historical minimum voltage |
| 53 | inX_enable Enable/disable all voltage sensors belonging to the |
| 54 | sub-group. In POWER9, this attribute corresponds to |
| 55 | each OCC. Using this attribute each OCC can be asked to |
| 56 | disable/enable all of its voltage sensors. |
| 57 | 1: Enable |
| 58 | 0: Disable |
| 59 | |
| 60 | powerX_input Power consumption (microWatt) |
| 61 | powerX_input_highest Historical maximum power |
| 62 | powerX_input_lowest Historical minimum power |
| 63 | powerX_enable Enable/disable all power sensors belonging to the |
| 64 | sub-group. In POWER9, this attribute corresponds to |
| 65 | each OCC. Using this attribute each OCC can be asked to |
| 66 | disable/enable all of its power sensors. |
| 67 | 1: Enable |
| 68 | 0: Disable |
| 69 | |
| 70 | currX_input Measured current (milliampere) |
| 71 | currX_highest Historical maximum current |
| 72 | currX_lowest Historical minimum current |
| 73 | currX_enable Enable/disable all current sensors belonging to the |
| 74 | sub-group. In POWER9, this attribute corresponds to |
| 75 | each OCC. Using this attribute each OCC can be asked to |
| 76 | disable/enable all of its current sensors. |
| 77 | 1: Enable |
| 78 | 0: Disable |
| 79 | |
| 80 | energyX_input Cumulative energy (microJoule) |
