I see a number of attributes listed in Documentation/power_supply_class.txt, but they are all uppercase, which doesn't seem suitable for sysfs file names. That document also doesn't list the numbering convention when multiple channels are present. My main worry is that we will have to add support for power measurement in libsensors, and I would like it to be as easy as possible. Thus sticking to the same naming convention hwmon have been using for years appears to be the best solution. I see that the power supply class units are 10^-6 A and 10^-6 W, so if we are supposed to be compatible, I guess we'll have to use this too. -- Jean Delvare - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
