non thermal-zon sensor command: OK read from /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0 : OK thermal-zon sensor command: NG read from /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0 : OKconfig THERMAL_HWMON bool prompt "Expose thermal sensors as hwmon device" depends on HWMON=y || HWMON=THERMAL default y please check if the thermal subsystem is built in, while hwmon subsystem is built as module. you should either set CONFIG_HWMON=y, or set both CONFIG_HWMON and CONFIG_THERMAL as module.Thanks. but it seems our system has it. I noticed that thermal_zone case uses of_parse_thermal_zones() and it has this. /* No hwmon because there might be hwmon drivers registering */ tzp->no_hwmon = true; and on thermal_zone_device_register() check this for hwmon struct thermal_zone_device *thermal_zone_device_register(xxxx) { ... if (!tz->tzp || !tz->tzp->no_hwmon) { result = thermal_add_hwmon_sysfs(tz); ... } ... } Does this mean "thermal_zone doesn't use lm-senser" ?
I'd prefer to say of_thermal registered thermal_zone doesn't use lm- sensor. If you're really want to see hwmon interface, I think you should use thermal API (thermal_zone_device_register) directly. thanks, rui
