hwmon: (lm73) Add 'update_interval' attribute
The LM73 supports four A/D conversion resolutions. The default used by the existing lm73 driver is the chip's default, 11-bit (0.25 C/LSB). This patch enables changing of this resolution from userspace via the update_interval sysfs attribute. Full details on usage are included in Documentation/hwmon/lm73.

Description
|
||||
-----------
|
||||
|
||||
The LM73 is a digital temperature sensor. All temperature values are
|
||||
given in degrees Celsius.
|
||||
|
||||
Measurement Resolution Support
|
||||
------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
The LM73 supports four resolutions, defined in terms of degrees C per
|
||||
LSB: 0.25, 0.125, 0.0625, and 0.3125. Changing the resolution mode
|
||||
affects the conversion time of the LM73's analog-to-digital converter.
|
||||
From userspace, the desired resolution can be specified as a function of
|
||||
conversion time via the 'update_interval' sysfs attribute for the
|
||||
device. This attribute will normalize ranges of input values to the
|
||||
maximum times defined for the resolution in the datasheet.
|
||||
|
||||
Resolution Conv. Time Input Range
|
||||
(C/LSB) (msec) (msec)
|
||||
--------------------------------------
|
||||
0.25 14 0..14
|
||||
0.125 28 15..28
|
||||
0.0625 56 29..56
|
||||
0.03125 112 57..infinity
|
||||
--------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
The following examples show how the 'update_interval' attribute can be
|
||||
used to change the conversion time:
|
||||
|
||||
$ echo 0 > update_interval
|
||||
$ cat update_interval
|
||||
14
|
||||
$ cat temp1_input
|
||||
24250
|
||||
|
||||
$ echo 22 > update_interval
|
||||
$ cat update_interval
|
||||
28
|
||||
$ cat temp1_input
|
||||
24125
|
||||
|
||||
$ echo 56 > update_interval
|
||||
$ cat update_interval
|
||||
56
|
||||
$ cat temp1_input
|
||||
24062
|
||||
|
||||
$ echo 85 > update_interval
|
||||
$ cat update_interval
|
||||
112
|
||||
$ cat temp1_input
|
||||
24031
|
||||
|
||||
As shown here, the lm73 driver automatically adjusts any user input for
|
||||
'update_interval' via a step function. Reading back the
|
||||
'update_interval' value after a write operation will confirm the
|
||||
conversion time actively in use.
|
||||
|
||||
Mathematically, the resolution can be derived from the conversion time
|
||||
via the following function:
|
||||
|
||||
g(x) = 0.250 * [log(x/14) / log(2)]
|
||||
|
||||
where 'x' is the output from 'update_interval' and 'g(x)' is the
|
||||
resolution in degrees C per LSB.
