You probably want the number of temperature sensors to come from the switch driver, and support arbitrary number of temperature sensors?In that case we would need the number of sensors, pass a sensor index, and create a dynamic number of attributes. The code would get much more complex without real benefit unless there is such a chip - and if there is, we can still change the code at that time. I would prefer to keep it simple for now.
Better to do it correctly, right from the start. There *will* be such a chip one day, and the person wanting to add it will appreciate the solid foundation (even if that person ends up being you ;). Thanks, Richard
