This Controller is a MCR assembled on almost all of our Compact PCI or Comp= act PCI Serial Cards as well as on some other CPU Boards. The BMC includes LED=B4s, Watchdog, Voltage Monitoring and some other featu= res. I have already implemented an MFD driver, LED and Watchdog driver. Currently i am working on the hwmon implemenation. This includes for the fi= rst step the voltage monitoring. The BMC has some other feature which are not supported by any of the subsys= tem. - Errorcounter (Board status) - Power Failure status - Operating ours - Do software reset, do cold reset - Set power modes - Backplate Geographical Address These are all informations related to the Board where the BMC is assembled = to. I think all those features could be part of the hwmon implementation. Is it possible to add "custom" sysfs entries in my hwmon driver to support = all these features? Does lm-sensor ingore those custom features or is it a problem for lm-senso= rs? What is the normal way to add those features?
