    4848The IPMI device interface and IPMI watchdog handler are not required. 
    4949 
     50You must modprobe i2c-ipmi separately, it will not 
     51load automatically when you modprobe bmcsensors. 
     52 
    5053If the KCS handler (ipmi_kcs_drv) is configured as a module, 
    51 you must modprobe it separately, it will not load automatically 
     54you must also modprobe it separately, it will not load automatically 
    5255when you modprobe i2c-ipmi or ipmi_msghandler (unless you set up 
    5356/etc/modules.conf to load ipmi_kcs_drv when ipmi_msghandler is loaded).

    11These are the steps you should follow to write a new driver and 
    22submit it to us so that it will be applied cleanly to our package. 
     3See at the bottom for adding new chip support to an existing driver.

    45Don't be intimidated by the list, it's just here so we don't 
    …… 
    3839  Also, please do not use // comments. 
    3940  Also, please do not go past column 80. 
     41  Also, please use C99 struct initializers {.foo = blat} 
    4042  Please do this _before_ you check in your driver. 
    4143 
    …… 
    141143* Move .o reference in kernel/[chips,busses]/Module.mk 
    142144  from first to second section.

     147--------------------------------------------------------------------- 
     148Checklist for _adding_ support for a chip to an _existing_ driver: 
     149 
     150* Make the changes to the driver itself. 
     151 
     152* Add detection information to prog/detect/sensors-detect. 
     153 
     154* Add a strncmp() call for the new prefix in prog/sensors/main.c 
     155  (chip drivers only). 
     156 
     157* Add entries for the new prefix to etc/sensors.conf.eg (chip drivers only). 
     158 
     159* Update config help in mkpatch/mkpatch.pl. 
     160 
     161* Update config entry in mkpatch/Config.in (chip drivers only) 
     162 
     163* Update config entry in mkpatch/mkpatch.pl (bus drivers only) 
     164 
     165* Update doc/[chips,busses]/xxx file 
     166 
     167* Update doc/chips/SUMMARY file (chip drivers only) 
     168 
     169* Update list in README 
     170 
     171* Submit the changes as a patch or check them in 
     172 
     173* Update entry on 'new drivers' page 
     174

     37Alarms are direct indications read from the chips. The drivers do NOT make 
     38comparisons of readings to thresholds. This allows violations 
     39between readings to be caught and alarmed. The exact definition of 
     40an alarm (for example, whether a threshold must be met or must be 
     41exceeded to cause an alarm) is chip-dependent. 
     42 
    3743Guidelines for new entries: 
    3844        - If there are multiple values, some r/w and some r/o, 
    3945          put the r/w ones first. 
    4046        - Additional non-standard values should be after the standard values.

    69                 Floating point values XXX.X or XXX.XX in Amps. 
     76                Floating point values XX.X or XX.XX in Amps. 
    7077                The second value is preferably a hysteresis value,
