164 164
165Word of warning: While the kernel allows device_create_file() and
166device_remove_file() to be called on a device at any time, userspace has
167strict expectations on when attributes get created. When a new device is
168registered in the kernel, a uevent is generated to notify userspace (like
169udev) that a new device is available. If attributes are added after the
170device is registered, then userspace won't get notified and userspace will
171not know about the new attributes.
172
173This is important for device driver that need to publish additional
174attributes for a device at driver probe time. If the device driver simply
175calls device_create_file() on the device structure passed to it, then
176userspace will never be notified of the new attributes. Instead, it should
177probably use class_create() and class->dev_attrs to set up a list of
178desired attributes in the modules_init function, and then in the .probe()
179hook, and then use device_create() to create a new device as a child
180of the probed device. The new device will generate a new uevent and
181properly advertise the new attributes to userspace.
182
183For example, if a driver wanted to add the following attributes:
184struct device_attribute mydriver_attribs[] = {
185 __ATTR(port_count, 0444, port_count_show),
186 __ATTR(serial_number, 0444, serial_number_show),
187 NULL
188};
189
190Then in the module init function is would do:
191 mydriver_class = class_create(THIS_MODULE, "my_attrs");
192 mydriver_class.dev_attr = mydriver_attribs;
193
194And assuming 'dev' is the struct device passed into the probe hook, the driver
195probe function would do something like:
196 create_device(&mydriver_class, dev, chrdev, &private_data, "my_name");

18Description
19-----------
20
21This driver implements support for Texas Instruments TMP401 and
22TMP411 chips. These chips implements one remote and one local
23temperature sensor. Temperature is measured in degrees
24Celsius. Resolution of the remote sensor is 0.0625 degree. Local
25sensor resolution can be set to 0.5, 0.25, 0.125 or 0.0625 degree (not
26supported by the driver so far, so using the default resolution of 0.5
27degree).
28
29The driver provides the common sysfs-interface for temperatures (see
30/Documentation/hwmon/sysfs-interface under Temperatures).
31
32The TMP411 chip is compatible with TMP401. It provides some additional
33features.
34
35* Minimum and Maximum temperature measured since power-on, chip-reset

36To mount the debugfs system: 35When debugfs is configured into the kernel (which selecting any ftrace
36option will do) the directory /sys/kernel/debug will be created. To mount
37this directory, you can add to your /etc/fstab file:

41Or you can mount it at run time with:

43 mount -t debugfs nodev /sys/kernel/debug
