    [PATCH] hwmon: Add sysfs interface for individual alarm files · 400b48ec
    Jean Delvare authored
    Extend the sysfs interface of hardware monitoring chips, by adding
    individual alarm and beep files. Contrary to the old aggregated "alarms"
    and "beeps" files, individual files constitute a standard way to access
    the status information, making it finally possible to implement a
    chip-independant hardware monitoring chip access library (once all
    drivers have been added this new interface, that is.)
    
    If future drivers need more individual files, the interface will be
    extended as needed at the same time these drivers are merged into the
    kernel tree.
