AMD K10 temp.module ready since months, but missing in kernel...

[mmi]

Hello out there,

i found the code to read temperature of AMD K10 (Phenom) processors a
couple of months ago in the net (GPL). I use it since January now and i
wonder, why it's not in the kernel till now.

It's from the same author, who wrote k8temp.c (which is in kernel).

Thanks,

M. Miederer

Perhaps you could provide a link to that code?

Butting in on the thread:
And I would like this to get in very much.  Not even gkrellm seems to be able 
to read my phenom since about 2.6.30.

MMI, do you mean this:

...or which code are you referring to?

Well, it's Rudolf's code - if he thinks this code is ready for inclusion 
as well, we'd need his Signed-off to do so....

Hi all,

There is a problem that all chips of fam10h have some errata which renders the
monitoring driver unusable. Some people proposed a workaround if temps look too
suspicious to refuse to load. This is against a sense of monitoring to refuse
the values where they don't look "right". So there is no driver.

There is a patch for fam11h floating around.

Thanks,
Rudolf

So perhaps you need to clean it up and submit for mainline? Or just
submit for staging?
