Now I am puzzled. If the temperature value is on an arbitrary scale, then the value returned by the driver is essentially fake? I can already hear the users complain that your driver is reporting temperature values which are different from their on-board hardware monitoring chip and they want to know who is right. It will be the same mess as with coretemp :( Don't we have additional information about the actual maximum Tcase value for the different supported models, as we have in coretemp? That would be an acceptable workaround, I guess. If not, then it might be the right time to introduce a new interface for relative temperature values. This needs some work, as we must first define the interface, then implement support in libsensors and sensors, and other monitoring applications, and then convert the affected drivers. But apparently we will have to, as major CPU makers are not able to implement something as simple as an absolute temperature sensor :( > --- linux-2.6/drivers/hwmon/Kconfig > +++ linux-2.6/drivers/hwmon/Kconfig > @@ -222,6 +222,18 @@ config SENSORS_K8TEMP > This driver can also be built as a module.
