Yeah, will most likely need to add EDAC bits. But that is something I 
can't test now.

So will have to do it only in due time.. :)

Sorry, I can not add this to a common file unless it is used elsewhere.
I would suggest to add it locally for now. It can be moved to the
common file once it is used elsewhere.

Why the empty line?  Also, use braces in both branches.

[PATCH] hwmon, k10temp: Add support for AMD F15h M60h processor

[Aravind Gopalakrishnan]

This patch adds temperature monitoring support for F15h M60h processor.
 - Add new pci device id for the relevant processor
 - The functionality of REG_REPORTED_TEMPERATURE is moved to
   D0F0xBC_xD820_0CA4 [Reported Temperature Control]
   - So, use this to get CUR_TEMP value
 - Add Kconfig, Doc entries to indicate support for this processor.

If there actually is any other code; these indirect SMU registers appear
to be mostly undocumented and to be intended to be used by the BIOS.
(Which makes me wonder why the temperature sensor was moved there.)

Anyway, if a lock is needed, it looks as if it could go into a helper
function such as "amd_nb_smu_ind_read()" in arch/x86/kernel/amd_nb.c.

I have been asking internally about this, and looks like it's just a 
register address change.
So we probably don't have to worry about this being used elsewhere..
