[lm-sensors] Adding 83627ehf input to sensors

[lm-sensors] Adding 83627ehf input to sensors

[Mike Eneboe]

I have a Lanner 8875B and it implements power supply fault sensing on 2 
GPIO bits (36 and 37) of 83627ehf chip.  I cannot figure out how to 
integrate those 2 pins into the sensors functionality so that I can get 
simpler enclosure monitoring for ALL aspects.

Can you give me a clue on how to do this?

I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS.

P.S. Does anyone have a link to a comprehensive document for how all the 
signals are brought into the OS and how to link them to ACPI?

lm-sensors currently doesn't have any support for this, even though it
could certainly be supported. It's not too different from the chassis
intrusion detection feature.

However, in practice it will be more difficult, because it is based on
GPIOs rather than dedicated pins, so we need board-specific information
to implement it. And we'd need a driver for the GPIO pins of the
W83627EHF and compatible devices, which doesn't exist currently. So
that's a long way to go.

"ACPI" and "comprehensive" can't match, I'm afraid.
