[PATCH 0/2] hwmon: (asus-ec-sensors) add ROG STRIX X870E-E GAMING WIFI7 R2

[Eugene Shalygin]

Add ROG STRIX X870E-E GAMING WIFI7 R2, which is a copy of ROG STRIX
X870E-E GAMING WIFI7 sensor-wise, and thus enable discovered T_Sensor
for the original board as well.

[PATCH 1/2] hwmon: (asus-ec-sensors) add T_Sensor for ROG STRIX X870E-E GAMING WIFI

[Eugene Shalygin]

From: Vishaal Saraiya <vishaal.saraiya@gmail.com>

Enable T_Sensor for ROG STRIX X870E-E GAMING WIFI. Board specs list the
sensor, reading return -62, which is one of the blank values for
temperature sensors in the ASUS EC.

[Eugene Shalygin]

From: Vishaal Saraiya <vishaal.saraiya@gmail.com>

The board sensors is a copy of ROG STRIX X870E-E GAMING WIFI7, thus we
simply reuse its board_info struct.

Just like Sashiko, I don't really understand this patch or, rather,
its description. What is the point of adding a sensor which is expected
to return -62 ?

The motherboard provides sockets where users can connect thermistors
(T_Sensor, Water_In, Water_Out). When the socket is empty, readings
the sensor value returns a special blank value, which is -40 for older
board generations (maybe BIOSes?) and -62 for the newer ones. It is a
good flag that the temperature sensor "exists" at the given EC
registry index. Hope this clarifies the motivations behind the commit.

I should have noted those values and properly return -ENODATA, but now
I'm not sure which board family uses which value. I will try to
salvage this information from my notes and the Libre Hardware Monitor
project (where I implemented blanks from the beginning and users fill
that bit of information when adding support for their motherboards),
but for now the driver returns those blank values as is when actual
sensor is not connected. If that fails I will likely test for both for
all the boards... Anyhow, this shortcomings will be addressed.

Cheers,
Eugene

Do you expect me (or anyone else) to be able to deduct that from
the patch description above ?

Would it be OK with you if I simply submit v2 with elaborated
explanation, and add those blank value to the code later?

Yes.

That makes me wonder, though: Are you sure that the negative temperature sensor
values are not really error codes ?

Thanks,

Does it matter? I know one of those two values (-40 or -62) are
delivered by the EC when thermistor is not connected (i.e. the
resistance is infinite). It allows us to detect EC registers with
temperature sensors and the driver to detect whether the [hysical
sensor is connected.
