net: phy: sfp: Add HWMON support for module sensors
SFP modules can contain a number of sensors. The EEPROM also contains recommended alarm and critical values for each sensor, and indications of if these have been exceeded. Export this information via HWMON. Currently temperature, VCC, bias current, transmit power, and possibly receiver power is supported. The sensors in the modules can either return calibrate or uncalibrated values. Uncalibrated values need to be manipulated, using coefficients provided in the SFP EEPROM. Uncalibrated receive power values require floating point maths in order to calibrate them. Performing this in the kernel is hard. So if the SFP module indicates it uses uncalibrated values, RX power is not made available. With this hwmon device, it is possible to view the sensor values using lm-sensors programs: in0: +3.29 V (crit min = +2.90 V, min = +3.00 V) (max = +3.60 V, crit max = +3.70 V) temp1: +33.0°C (low = -5.0°C, high = +80.0°C) (crit low = -10.0°C, crit = +85.0°C) power1: 1000.00 nW (max = 794.00 uW, min = 50.00 uW) ALARM (LCRIT) (lcrit = 40.00 uW, crit = 1000.00 uW) curr1: +0.00 A (crit min = +0.00 A, min = +0.00 A) ALARM (LCRIT, MIN) (max = +0.01 A, crit max = +0.01 A) The scaling sensors performs on the bias current is not particularly good. The raw values are more useful: curr1: curr1_input: 0.000 curr1_min: 0.002 curr1_max: 0.010 curr1_lcrit: 0.000 curr1_crit: 0.011 curr1_min_alarm: 1.000 curr1_max_alarm: 0.000 curr1_lcrit_alarm: 1.000 curr1_crit_alarm: 0.000 In order to keep the I2C overhead to a minimum, the constant values, such as limits and calibration coefficients are read once at module insertion time. Thus only reading *_input and *_alarm properties requires i2c read operations. Signed-off-by: Andrew Lunn <andrew@lunn.ch> Acked-by: Guenter Roeck <linux@roeck-us.net> Signed-off-by: David S.
