Subject: [PATCH] hwmon: (asus-ec-sensors) detect unconnected physical sensors
Date: Sat, 11 Jul 2026 11:59:04 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260711095917.568925-1-eugene.shalygin@gmail.com> (raw)
When there is no temperature sensor connected, reading EC register
returns one of the special values (-62, -60, -40). Test for them
and return -ENODATA to hwmon.
