I used the code for a different reason (it seems that the board fails right when the TAU reads between 66 and 70 degrees C) but I held off on turning it into a kernel patch because I can see it now -- as soon as a patch gets into the 2.2 kernel tree, people are going to start hitting the list with questions like "why does my computer think that it's 70 C in here?". At the very least, whoever puts the code in the kernel should take a hint from Motorola's code and also spit out whether the value has been calibrated or not (compile-time option? or an OF variable? thoughts?) --Charles Lepple clepple@mitre.org [[ This message was sent via the linuxppc-dev mailing list.
