2026-06-09hwmon: Add update_interval_us chip attributeFerdinand Schwenk
Some hardware monitoring chips support update intervals below one millisecond. The existing update_interval attribute uses millisecond granularity, which causes sub-millisecond steps to round to the same value and become inaccessible from userspace. Introduce update_interval_us, a companion chip-level attribute that expresses the same update interval in microseconds. Drivers implementing this attribute should also implement update_interval for compatibility with millisecond-based userspace interfaces.

2023-04-19docs: hwmon: sysfs-interface: Fix stray colonStefan Wahren
The commit 036d6a4e75c9 ("ABI: sysfs-class-hwmon: add ABI documentation for it") moved all ABI attributes to the usual ABI documentation. But this change left a stray colon for the fan speed control method. Fix this to avoid a confusion of readers.

Add the "label" sysfs attribute, which can contain a descriptive label that allows to uniquely identify a device within the system.

2021-10-05ABI: sysfs-class-hwmon: add ABI documentation for itMauro Carvalho Chehab
Move the ABI attributes documentation from: Documentation/hwmon/sysfs-interface.rst in order for it to follow the usual ABI documentation. That allows script/get_abi.pl to properly handle it.

2021-04-20hwmon: Clarify scope of attribute accessGuenter Roeck
Hardware monitoring sysfs attributes are used and displayed by unrestricted userspace applications. Standard attributes therefore have to be world readable, since otherwise those userspace applications would either have to run as super-user or display an error. None of those makes sense. Clarify the expected scope of attribute access in the ABI document. Cc: Naveen Krishna Chatradhi <nchatrad@amd.com> Signed-off-by: Guenter Roeck <linux@roeck-us.net>

New attributes (rated_min/rated_max) are being added the hwmon ABI. They are needed to cover rated values documented by PMBus specification: PMBus Power System Mgt Protocol Specification - Part II – Revision 1.3.1, chapters: 22.3.1 - 22.3.10, 22.3.15 Signed-off-by: Zbigniew Lukwinski <zbigniew.lukwinski@linux.intel.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/1596224237-32280-2-git-send-email-zbigniew.lukwinski@linux.intel.com Signed-off-by: Guenter Roeck <linux@roeck-us.net>
