Description
-----------

This driver implements a generic PECI hwmon feature which provides Digital
Thermal Sensor (DTS) thermal readings of the CPU package and CPU cores that are
accessible via the processor PECI interface.

All temperature values are given in millidegree Celsius and will be measurable
only when the target CPU is powered on.

-------------------

======================= =======================================================
temp1_label		"Die"
temp1_input		Provides current die temperature of the CPU package.
temp1_max		Provides thermal control temperature of the CPU package
			which is also known as Tcontrol.
temp1_crit		Provides shutdown temperature of the CPU package which
			is also known as the maximum processor junction
			temperature, Tjmax or Tprochot.
temp1_crit_hyst		Provides the hysteresis temperature of the CPU
			package. Returns Tcontrol, the temperature at which
			the critical condition clears.

temp2_label		"DTS"
temp2_input		Provides current temperature of the CPU package scaled
			to match DTS thermal profile.
temp2_max		Provides thermal control temperature of the CPU package
			which is also known as Tcontrol.
temp2_crit		Provides shutdown temperature of the CPU package which
			is also known as the maximum processor junction
			temperature, Tjmax or Tprochot.
temp2_crit_hyst		Provides the hysteresis temperature of the CPU
			package. Returns Tcontrol, the temperature at which
			the critical condition clears.

temp3_label		"Tcontrol"
