Subject: [PATCH v3 1/1] hwmon: (asus-ec-sensors) detect unconnected physical sensors
Date: Sat, 11 Jul 2026 14:26:44 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260711122937.594989-2-eugene.shalygin@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260711122937.594989-1-eugene.shalygin@gmail.com>
When there is no physical sensor connected to the motherboard
socket,reading EC register returns one of the special values
(-62, -60, -40). Test for them and return -ENODATA to hwmon.
