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

This driver implements a generic PECI hwmon feature which provides
Temperature sensor on DIMM readings 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.

Sysfs interface
-------------------

======================= =======================================================

temp[N]_label		Provides string "DIMM CI", where C is DIMM channel and
			I is DIMM index of the populated DIMM.
temp[N]_input		Provides current temperature of the populated DIMM.
temp[N]_max		Provides thermal control temperature of the DIMM.
temp[N]_crit		Provides shutdown temperature of the DIMM.

======================= =======================================================

Note:
	DIMM temperature attributes will appear when the client CPU's BIOS
	completes memory training and testing.
