Subject: [PATCH] k10temp: update documentation
Date: Mon, 23 Sep 2019 09:10:52 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190923071052.25320-1-lzap+git@redhat.com> (raw)
It's been a while since the k10temp documentation has been updated.
There are new CPU families supported as well as Tdie temp was added.
This patch adds all missing families which I was able to find from git
history and provides more info about Tctl vs Tdie exported temps.

+On some AMD CPUs, there is a difference between the die temperature (Tdie) and
+the reported temperature (Tctl). Tdie is the real measured temperature, and
+Tctl is used for fan control. While Tctl is always available as temp1_input,
