[PATCH v2 0/2] scsi: mpt3sas: add hwmon support

[Louis Sautier]

Expose the IOC and board temperature sensors of LSI / Broadcom / Avago
SAS HBAs that bind to mpt3sas through the hwmon interface. The data
lives in MPI IO Unit Page 7.

The same fields are exposed by Broadcom's userspace tooling through
the /dev/mpt[23]ctl ioctl path (typically root-only): IOCTemperature
and BoardTemperature in lsiutil; ROC and Controller in storcli.
With this driver, sensors(1) shows them unprivileged:

  $ sensors mpt3sas-pci-0200
  mpt3sas-pci-0200
  Adapter: PCI adapter
  IOC:          +42.0°C

v1 -> v2:
  v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260512214703.655633-1-sautier.louis@gmail.com
  * Dropped misleading Documentation/hwmon/mpt3sas.rst.
  * Dropped inaccurate concurrency-wait figure from Testing;
    corrected empirical data is in the on-list discussion.

Testing
-------

Validated across three Broadcom SAS chip generations. None of the
cards had a board sensor present, so the testing only covers the
IOC channel:

  * LSI 9500-8i / SAS3816, SAS-3:
    - hwmon device registers as "mpt3sas" with only temp1 (IOC) exposed
    - IOC reading matches `storcli /c0 show temperature` and
      `lsiutil -p1 -a 25,2,0,0`
    - rmmod / modprobe cycle goes through the explicit
      unregister/register paths cleanly

  * LSI 9305-24i / SAS3224, SAS-3: same behaviour.

  * LSI 9211-4i / SAS2004, SAS-2: firmware reports both
    *TemperatureUnits = NOT_PRESENT, no hwmon device registered
    (graceful-skip path).

Not verified (no available hardware):
  * Path with both IOC and board sensors present.
  * Fahrenheit-units conversion.
  * Sub-zero readings (signed-cast path).

[PATCH v2 1/2] scsi: mpt3sas: add IO Unit Page 7 config accessor

[Louis Sautier]

Add mpt3sas_config_get_iounit_pg7(), mirroring the existing iounit
page accessors. Used by the hwmon driver added in the following patch
to read the IOC and board temperatures.

[PATCH v2 2/2] scsi: mpt3sas: add hwmon support

[Louis Sautier]

Expose the IOC and board temperature sensors of LSI / Broadcom SAS
HBAs through hwmon. Readings come from MPI IO Unit Page 7 via the
accessor added in the preceding patch.

The same fields are exposed by Broadcom's userspace tooling
through the /dev/mpt[23]ctl ioctl path (typically root-only):
IOCTemperature and BoardTemperature in lsiutil; ROC and Controller
in storcli. With this driver, sensors(1) shows them unprivileged:

  $ sensors mpt3sas-pci-0200
  mpt3sas-pci-0200
  Adapter: PCI adapter
  IOC:          +42.0°C

Each channel is gated independently by its *TemperatureUnits field
through is_visible(); cards that populate only one sensor expose
only one input file, and cards that populate neither do not register
an hwmon device.

Built into mpt3sas.ko under a new CONFIG_SCSI_MPT3SAS_HWMON Kconfig
option.

This isn't a bug, but the help text references a documentation file that
doesn't seem to be included in this patch. Is Documentation/hwmon/mpt3sas.rst
missing from this commit, or was this added in a separate patch series?

I forgot to remove this sentence after dropping the documentation. I
will do it in v3.
